Compared with the deserted Jin family, when Bai Xiuzhu returned home from the south of the third grade of junior high school, she saw a long queue in front of the Bai family. They were all coming to pay New Year greetings and give gifts, and the alley in front of the Bai family was almost blocked. .
"Look, my brother is still more powerful." Bai Xiuzhu said proudly when she saw this.
When Xiang Nan saw her saying this, he immediately smiled politely but awkwardly.
In fact, after Bai Xiongqi became prime minister, Bai Xiuzhu was inevitably a bit arrogant.
She was even more arrogant after Jin Quan left power, the third son of the Jin family was fired, and Baek Xiong was finally restored to his position.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan is more promising than Jin Yanxi. He is a well-known scholar in the country. He has good looks, talent, and wealth. He is not much inferior to her sister, the Prime Minister.
That's why Bai Xiuzhu didn't raise her tail to the sky. Otherwise, if it were Jin Yanxi who was a loser, even if they got married, he would be disliked by Bai Xiuzhu.
"Yan Xi, resign from your teaching position and come over to help me." Bai Xiongqi smiled and said to Xiang Nan, "With your talents, it is a pity to be a professor."
"Thank you for the compliment, brother. But I don't have any ambitions. I am satisfied if I can do a good job as a teacher." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But brother is still young and powerful, so I should take a step forward."
"Then you and your sister can move back here. The house here will always be kept." Bai Xiongqi added.
"Thank you, brother, but our house is also empty." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you miss Xiuzhu, I will just bring her back later."
He is the son of the Jin family, not the son-in-law of the Bai family, so why would he go to live with the Bai family. Bai Xiongqi was really devastated to see the Jin family in such a state of desolation that they could bully people to such an extent.
"Brother, I live well in the Jin family, so I won't move back and forth." Bai Xiuzhu heard what her brother said and also spoke to Xiang Nan.
Although she is a bit arrogant now, she still loves Xiang Nande after all. Naturally, he knows the difference between living in the Jin family and living in the Bai family, and doesn't want to embarrass Xiang Nan.
"That's it." Seeing that his sister said this, Bai Xiong could only nodded.
…
In 2025, Xiang Nan still focused on teaching and writing.
The series of "Peerless Two Prides" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" have been completed, and Xiang Nan is now starting to serialize "Wulin Foreign History" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" (the story is adapted from "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3").
After the two films were released, they are naturally still very popular.
On the one hand, his writing techniques are up-to-date. Today's vernacular writing has only just developed a few years ago, and its techniques are not yet sophisticated. In comparison, when Xiang Nan started writing online articles, vernacular Chinese had already developed for hundreds of years and had become very mature.
Many common techniques were a major innovation in the Republic of China. For example, the image of the protagonist is both good and evil, which is not new to modern people at all, but the protagonists during the Republic of China were definitely mainly positive.
For example, psychological description of characters is now very common. But at that time, there was little psychological description of the characters, and they could only be profiled through words, actions, and expressions.
On the one hand, Xiang Nan’s story is also the latest. Most of the stories from the Republic of China period are relatively traditional, especially the popular ones. They are basically about talents, beauties, love, hate, and hatred.
Xiang Nan's story is a major innovation, integrating martial arts, detectives, love, history, war and many other elements. It has rich themes and novel stories, so it is naturally very popular.
Therefore, Xiang Nan's remuneration at this time had also risen to ten yuan per thousand words, which was considered the highest level at the time. Twelve thousand words a day is 3,600 yuan a month, which is definitely a high income.
…
In terms of teaching, Xiang Nan still teaches step by step.
But usually, I like to mingle with my classmates. For example, playing basketball together.
He has martial arts skills and inherited Liu Wenqin's basketball skills. He is invincible when playing basketball.
Therefore, every time it is played, it can attract a large number of students to stop.
And his approachable approach also won him the love of his classmates.
In addition, after school started at the beginning of the year, Xiang Nan also released a new song-"One Cut Plum".
"True love blooms like plum blossoms
Cold ice and snow cannot drown
Blooming on the coldest branches
See spring coming to you and me
…
Snowflakes are falling and the north wind is blowing
The world is vast
A cold plum stands proudly in the snow
"Only for Yin people"
Because the melody is beautiful and the lyrics are touching, especially the line in the song "A cold plum blossom stands proudly in the snow and blooms on the coldest branch", which is even more meaningful. So it is very popular among young people.
Moreover, not only revolutionary youths like it, but also ordinary listeners. It is melodious, affectionate, and truly beautiful, so it spread quickly.
This also allowed Xiang Nan's popularity to continue to be maintained.
What is particularly rare is that in March, Hujiang EMI Records bought half of the copyright of "One Cut Plum" for a price of 100 yuan, and then invited Cai Ling, a popular singer in Hujiang at the time, to record the record and broadcast it on the then China Radio Company .
Once it was broadcast, it quickly caused a sensation, creating a scene where everyone in Shanghai and Jiangxi sang "One Cut Plum", making Xiang Nan's name known to more and more people.
…
In April, Xiang Nan created a new play "Sunrise" for the Peking University Drama Club.
"Sunrise" is also a work by Mr. Cao Yu and is one of the top ten outstanding contemporary Chinese dramas.
With the socialite Chen Bailu as the center, and the gorgeous lounge of a big hotel where Chen Bailu lives and the third-class brothel as the venue, it tells the story of the intrigues of the upper class and the pain and suffering of the people at the bottom.
The play was immediately rehearsed and performed by the Peking University Drama Club. Once performed, it once again caused a great sensation in the literary world and was hailed as a more outstanding work than "Thunderstorm".
Lu Xun praised this play as "the best harvest in China's New Literature Movement"
Harold Sheddick, a professor at Yenching University, even praised the play, "Sunrise is the most powerful modern Chinese drama I have seen. It can compete with Ibsen and Ibsen without shame." Galsworthy's masterpiece of social drama stands side by side."
The launch of this drama once again solidified Xiang Nan's reputation as a talented man, and also made him admired by more and more girls. There are really girls who write to him. They don't care that he is married and are willing to be with him for love.
But I can only express my gratitude to Xiang Nan. After all, this is 1925, not 2025, and the relationship between men and women is still very serious.
As long as he gets involved, he can't be irresponsible. Beginning with chaos and ending with abandonment, at that time, he would undoubtedly be criticized by thousands of people and reviled by thousands of people.
For the sake of temporary pleasure, it is not worth it to be called "talented but not moral" or "dressed like a beast", and Xiang Nan does not want to cause such trouble.
So no matter how much a girl admires him, he always keeps them at a respectful distance and stays away to avoid getting into trouble.
And this kind of clean and tidy behavior made him more loved and respected by his students.
