Chapter 22: Not enough money! Liu Hongmin was stunned for a moment, "It's me." Yang Xiren burst into laughter. “Just now I was wondering why your name sounded familiar. I didn’t expect you to be the author of Young Justice Bao.” Liu Hongmin smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect Professor Yang to have heard of me." "Of course I've heard of you. Not only me, but all the professors at the Public Security University have heard of you." Liu Hongmin was a little bit unconvinced, "How is this possible? How can I be so famous?" Yang Xiren smiled and said, "I don't know about other places, but in this school, you are more famous than any writer. Since the beginning of this semester, Young Justice Bao has become popular in the school. Even if not everyone has a copy, almost everyone has one. These little guys, after being admitted to the Public Security University, think they are detectives and want to solve major cases." Liu Hongmin laughed and said, "This is normal. People like to be Huo Qubing, but few want to be Zhao Chongguo." Huo Qubing was the most famous general in ancient times, and his military achievements at Fenglangjuxu have always been the ceiling. Zhao Chongguo, on the other hand, was much more unknown. He was a representative of those who were good at fighting but had no outstanding achievements. He only thought about using the best way to deal with the enemy, and did not consider the size of his own achievements at all. Hearing this, Yang Xiren couldn't help but nodded, "Hongmin, you are right."
After leaving the Public Security University, Yang Xiren found a small restaurant and they sat down. "This place just opened not long ago, I don't know what it tastes like." The lady who runs the restaurant said with a smile, "Don't worry, our cooking skills are absolutely fine." "Then let's have some of our signature dishes." Liu Hongmin sighed, "There are more and more self-employed people now." "That's right! It seems that the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee was not held in vain." The two chatted for a while, and then the food and drinks were served. After the two had a drink, Liu Hongmin sent Yang Xiren home. The next time they met, it would be at Yang Xiren's home, and Liu Hongmin came to get to know him. The time they agreed on was the weekend, Yang Xiren had no classes, and could help Liu Hongmin all day. Liu Hongmin was very fond of Yang Xiren's temper, so Yang Xiren hoped to help Liu Hongmin solve all his questions as soon as possible, and then see Liu Hongmin's new novel as soon as possible. Liu Hongmin was busy until the summer vacation, and before the vacation, Cha Jianying found him. "Hongmin, we still need your manuscript for next semester's "Unnamed Lake"." "No problem, three should be enough, right?" School starts at the end of August, so "Unname Lake" cannot be published. From September to December, four issues can be published. With a summer vacation plus four months, I should be able to get the manuscript for one issue together! "can!" After talking about the manuscript, Zha Jianying asked again: "I heard that you are not going home during the summer vacation?" Liu Hongmin nodded, "Yes, I plan to buy a house in Beijing during the summer vacation." Cha Jianying was stunned for a moment, "You want to settle down in Beijing?" In this era, registering a hukou means permanent residence. "Of course, it would be great if you can register a hukou." Buying a house does not mean that you can register your residence here. Liu Hongmin still needs to have a job in Beijing before he can register his residence here. Cha Jianying opened her mouth, she still did not give up the idea of persuading Liu Hongmin to study abroad. However, seeing that Liu Hongmin had made a decision, she did not express her thoughts, and said goodbye to Liu Hongmin, "Hongmin, I'm going to Hong Kong during the summer vacation."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "That's great! Going outside can broaden your horizons. But you must also remember that the land under your feet is your root." Cha Jianying left sadly, she had sensed Liu Hongmin's thoughts. Obviously, the two chose different paths and were destined not to be together. When preparing to leave, Cha Jianying hid four copies of "Young Justice Bao" under her clothes so that her parents could not see them. More than ten hours later, the plane landed at Xiangjiang Airport. After leaving the airport, Cha Jianying looked back and realized that she had already embarked on the path she had chosen. At this time, Liu Hongmin and Zou Shifang came to the vicinity of Shichahai. They heard that the courtyard houses here had complete property rights, so they came here early in the morning. But when he got here, he found out that Liu Hongmin could not afford the courtyard house nearby. Shichahai is located between the North Second Ring Road and the North First Ring Road, surrounded by Houhai Park, Jianyuan, Dazang Longhua Temple, Regent Palace Horse Quarters, Beijing Bell Tower, and Nanluoguxiang. It is the most prosperous area in Beijing. Siheyuans in other places can be bought for one or two thousand or three or four thousand, but the Siheyuans here cost at least tens of thousands. Liu Hongmin really chose the courtyard house here. The location here is very good. It is next to the Chinese Academy of Drama, Beijing Normal University and Beijing No. 1 Middle School. It can solve the problems of marrying a beautiful wife and sending children to school in the future. But unfortunately, he didn't have enough money. "Go back first!" Liu Hongmin said with great regret. Zou Shifang was shocked. "You really want to buy it? With that much money, you can buy several houses." Liu Hongmin shook his head. "I'm a country boy. Why should I live in a building?" Zou Shifang was speechless, he knew that Liu Hongmin was talking nonsense again. Compared to the Siheyuan, Liu Hongmin really prefers to live in a building, but that is the building of the future. The current buildings are all tube-shaped buildings, which are very inconvenient and not as comfortable as the Siheyuan. The Siheyuan has a large area, and as long as it is renovated, it will be much better than the current buildings. However, whether buying or renovating, it requires a lot of money. With no other options, Liu Hongmin could only concentrate on writing his novel. There are 11 cases in "The Great Song Dynasty Judge". It is estimated that it will be to words, which is the number of words for a long novel. Therefore, its outline will be very important and it will take a long time to prepare. In order to avoid interrupting his thoughts, Liu Hongmin put it aside for the time being and finished writing the three novels he promised to Cha Jianying first. "Five Rats in the State of Xiang", "Magic Phantom", and "Turning Dragon Robbery" are the last three stories of Shao Bao 1. "Five Rats in the State of Xiang" is actually the prequel to "Five Rats in the East", which is used to introduce the Five Rats. Liu Hongmin added another function to this story, which is to introduce Gongsun Ce. At this time, although Gongsun Ce failed the exam, he was still in high spirits and believed that he would definitely pass the exam next time. In "Magic Phantom", Bao Zheng was killed by a troupe on his way back to Luzhou to take care of his parents. In "Panlong Jie", the Eighth Wise King was framed, which led to the substitution of a cat for a prince. Liu Hongmin took into account that Bao Zheng had to go to the capital again before returning to Luzhou, so he arranged the story of "The Dragon Robbery" a few months later. The person who informed Bao Zheng was Gongsun Ce, which strengthened the relationship between Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng. It also laid the groundwork for Gongsun Ce to become Bao Zheng's master after failing the imperial examination many times. (End of this chapter)
