"The young master of Jin Mansion?"
"It should be Mr. Jin's youngest son... Jin Yanxi. He is the only one who is not married yet. The eldest son Jin Fengju, the second son Jin Hesun, and the third son Jin Pengju are all married. Now only Jin Yanxi is left."
When Bai Gui heard this, he thought for a moment and said.
There are only four young masters in the Jin Mansion, and all three of them are married. The third aunt, Wang Yufen, is Bai Xiuzhu's cousin, so the only young master of the Jin family who pursues Leng Qingqiu is Jin Yanxi.
"Sir, you are right. The name... seems to be Jin Yanxi."
"Last time, he sent his servants to buy our White House. Knowing that the White House belongs to you, Mr. Bai, he changed his mind and offered an apology."
"But after I sent the apology, I desperately wanted to stay in the white house for a long time, but I refused. After all, the young lady is alone at home, which will make people gossip and affect the reputation..."
Butler Lao Li replied.
According to the relationship between Bai Gui and Jin Mansion, Jin Yanxi did not know that Bai Gui bought the house. Although it is a bit unbelievable, Jin Yanxi is just a dandy. When sending greetings, invitations, etc., it is all gold. It is reasonable for the servants and aunt to take care of the matter, and it is not Jin Yanxi's turn.
While he was talking, the voices of the two women outside the door became closer and closer.
So he stopped talking.
Knock on the door.
Leng Qingqiu and Liu Baoer walked in.
"Mr. Bai, I...I heard that you came back from studying in Amei's country. I wonder if you have any books you bought from Amei's country. I want to copy some."
Leng Qingqiu bowed to Bai Guifu, her face turned red, and she spoke softly.
Scholars who have returned from studying in Amei's country or some other countries often buy a lot of books in foreign countries and then return to their home countries.
First, these untranslated books will be of great use to the country. The scientific research and academic levels of Europa and Amei are among the best in the world, far exceeding those at home. Secondly, after these books arrived in China, the price doubled, several times in one fell swoop, making the business a sure profit. Thirdly, most students studying abroad come from scholarly families, and buying books to fill their home collections has been a way to maintain their family fortunes since ancient times.
There are some capable overseas students who return to their home countries to buy books and sell them, not only earning back the cost of studying abroad, but also making a lot of residual profits.
Copying and borrowing books are not only found in "Preface to Ma Sheng in Dongyang".
At this time, when scholars came to the homes of wealthy families, if they learned that there was a large collection of books, they would often ask the host to copy them.
Leng Qingqiu is a student of Beiman's private school and an intellectual. It is reasonable and reasonable for him to come to see Bai Gui and request to copy the collection of books he brought from Amei's Country.
"Beiman Girls' School has been in contact with various schools in Yanjing. This copy of the book... was not only requested by Qingqiu, but also by many college students."
Liu Baoer added.
She had just returned to Yanjing, and when she was talking to Leng Qingqiu about her brother Bai Gui, she couldn't help but mention Bai Gui's arrival in Yanjing.
Although I don’t know why Leng Qingqiu pays special attention to his brother.
But then Leng Qingqiu told Liu Baoer about copying Western books.
This matter was not a temporary one.
It’s something that major universities have been doing.
Now we have passed the period of relying solely on bravery to be strong and competitive. If we want to be strong, we must arm ourselves with knowledge.
And students copy books and then donate them to various schools... This is just a small amount of power.
Spontaneous behavior.
In this country, everyone is trying to get involved.
Don't let it slip into the deep ditch.
"I have previously donated a number of books to universities such as Beiman University, Jingshi University, Tsinghua University, Huiwen University, etc., and now I still have some on hand that I need to translate. If Miss Leng doesn't mind, I will give you the translated ones." Copies, these books can be taken temporarily..."
Bai Gui was a little surprised and said immediately.
During the years when he was studying at the University of Tokyo and Yale, he had actually donated various cutting-edge academic books to major universities. This was more important than donating ammunition and the like.
At this time, the textbooks used by major universities in China were basically translated textbooks from other countries, and then decided to use them after deleting, deleting, and modifying them.
Last year, when he returned from studying abroad in Amei, he also donated a large number of books.
The reason why he is still donating now is because... the books he donated before were all books available on the market in Amei's country, but the books he is translating at this time are the books he is waiting for Amei at Yale University. Chewing on the cutting-edge academic books and papers seen in university libraries and laboratories, these things are prohibited from being circulated in the market. If Bai Gui had not had the gift of photographic memory, ordinary people would not be able to remember such a large number of books. Easy.
"If Mr. Bai hadn't always had the habit of donating books, Qingqiu wouldn't have dared to ask for it without permission."
"On behalf of Beiman, Tsinghua, Huiwen and other universities, I would like to thank Mr. Bai for this matter."
Leng Qingqiu's eyes flashed with joy and he thanked her.
"It's just a small thing."
"You are out of public interest, so I won't refuse."
Bai Gui shook his head and said.
In a few years, three missionary schools, Beiman Girls' School, Huiwen University, and Luhe Academy, will be merged into Yanda. Yanda is an extremely powerful university. During the future departmental restructuring, liberal arts and science were merged into the Capital University, while engineering was merged with Tsinghua University.
And although he has now cultivated Taoism, his knowledge is infinite, and it is crucial to enrich himself at all times.
Finished.
Bai Gui opened the suitcase and took out more than a dozen manuscript books.
His authentic work of Bai Meihe is also very valuable.
Not to mention the value of the knowledge in this book to the country at this time.
If Leng Qingqiu hadn't wanted his manuscript out of public interest, he wouldn't have even thought about it.
When Leng Qingqiu saw these dozen manuscripts, he flipped through them and was immediately pleasantly surprised. The knowledge recorded in them was extremely profound and was cutting-edge scholarship.
"These are some theater tickets. Mr. Jin gave them to me. I don't have time to watch them, and...I don't have much money, so I don't want to say thank you. Please don't refuse, Mr. Bai."
Leng Qingqiu took out three theater tickets from the student uniform in blue and black skirt and handed them to Bai Gui.
In this era, after college students ask celebrities to help, it is not easy to hire them for free, but celebrities are not short of money. Students are short of money. Therefore, some small gifts are often given to celebrities.
The theater tickets are quite suitable.
During this time of socializing, theater tickets are a common gift.
It’s about the same as a movie ticket in later generations.
"Thank you."
"My wife likes to go to the theater and is planning to buy some theater tickets to go see the theater. It is just right for Miss Leng to send theater tickets to my wife and me."
Bai Gui took the theater ticket with both hands and bowed to Leng Qingqiu to thank him.
He goes to the theater, and given his status, he basically gets free admission. He and Bai Xiuzhu were not short of money to buy tickets to the theater. So these remarks are just polite words.
