Chapter 43: Teacher Qian
Subtitle of this chapter: The Historical Truth Turns Out to Be Sauce Purple Drops!
………………
"Mr. Yuan, are you satisfied with this room?"
The Rosewood Hotel has only five floors and this room is on the top floor. Although it is not a top-of-the-line presidential suite, it is also a second-class executive suite. And the rooms are quite luxuriously furnished, and they are also in the Rococo style that Americans like very much.
Of course, for people like Yuan Yanqian and Meng Xiancheng who have received traditional Chinese education, this style is a bit too complicated and soft, and the colors are too bright to make people dizzy.
But no matter how much they don't like it, they can see that this room is of good quality. With an area of at least 70 square meters, in addition to a bedroom with a water view of the river outside the window, there is also a separate study and reception room.
Of course, this can't be compared to the luxurious apartment that Master Yuan lives in now, but it is much better than the dilapidated apartment that these two students used to rent and now rent.
Our Master Yuan walked around the guest room, nodded with satisfaction, and heard ......
"Poof!"
This is naturally the sound of champagne opening a corkage, how can you live in this kind of room without champagne.
The lobby foreman did not wait for his request, and poured two glasses of champagne for the two of them very kindly. Then he lowered his hand and asked respectfully, "Mr. Yuan, do you still need any other services?" ”
"No need." Yuan Yanqian shook his head, skillfully took out a Alexander Hamilton from his wallet, stuffed it into the other party's hand, and said, "Thank you, sir." ”
Don't forget, ten dollars was a week's salary for a skilled worker at the time. And coffee is only five cents a cup, and ten dollars of coffee can be drunk in one sitting.
The foreman's face was a little more smiling, his waist was bent a little lower, and he said more earnestly: "Mr. Yuan, please call me Frank." If you have any needs, please call the front desk and come to me directly. ”
When Frank went out, Master Yuan picked up a glass of champagne and handed it to his old friend and said, "Bohong, let us congratulate you in advance on obtaining your master's degree." ”
Meng Xian took the wine glass and said, "Hongji, then I also want to congratulate you in advance on obtaining your doctorate." ”
The two laughed and toasted.
Meng Xiancheng sighed, shook his head and said, "Hong Yan, don't blame me for underestimating you." But I really didn't expect you to make such a big deal in New York. And you can even write......"
He said admiringly: "The present is only a little strategic, not the next Wu Hongchuan!" ”
Yuan Yanqian smiled slightly, and immediately continued: "If you don't wait for three days, you will be more impressed, Brother Bohong is too late to see things!" ”
The answer between these two actually comes from the famous dialogue between Lu Su and Lu Meng in "Zizhi Tongjian", and it is also the origin of the idiom "Shibei should be impressed by each other for three days".
Therefore, if our Master Yuan had not inherited the foundation of Chinese studies from his great-great-uncle and grandfather, he would not have known how to communicate with the Seris intellectuals in these years.
"Bohong, sit down." Master Yuan greeted him, and the two sat down on the sofa in the living room.
He took out a cigar and asked casually as he lit it, "How are you doing in your house lately?" ”
Meng Xiancheng said: "It's okay in my family, and the world is peaceful......
To put it bluntly, before Songhu Station, although the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai free shipping empire cannot be called a paradise, it is really a stable place. Of course, there will be a Jiangsu-Zhejiang War in 1924, and the Northern Expedition and April 12 in 1927.
However, in the past two years, there will be neither natural disasters nor human disasters in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. As for the drama of "Overcharged Three or Five Buckets"...... It's good that these poor sticks can still eat.
"Oh, Mr. Qianlu wrote to me to ask about your news, and the letter admitted that he was a blind eye, and he would actually say that you would not be productive. By the way, did you receive the letter he wrote? ”
"This ......"
Yuan Yanqian's feelings about this Mr. Qianlu are quite complicated.
Qian Jibo, the word Ziquan, the number Qianlu, is also a native of Wuxi. This gentleman was also a famous educator and scholar during the Republic of China. In 1913, he served as a teacher of literature and history in the first primary school of Wuxi County. In other words, this Mr. Qian is one of their enlightenment teachers.
At that time, Mr. Qian felt that Yuan Yanqian lacked such a spirit, and he hated that although he was a student, he was smart, but he would definitely not be able to become a great weapon in the future. So......
Sephosa, no wonder the actor of "The Siege" is called Fang Hongji!!
That's right, that's right, that's right, Qian Jibo gave birth to a baby son in 1910, whose name is ...... Qian Zhongshu Na Na Na !!
Our Master Yuan now understands that this is how things are: Qian Jibo has a student named Yuan Yanqi Hongji, and his son Qian Zhongshu must have known from his Lao Tzu that there is such a student who is a little clever but has no great perseverance. Wait until this year, Qian Xiaoxiao will also know that Yuan Yanqian brought back a PhD from Clayton University in Europe from the United States.
So Qian Zhongshu's children named the protagonist of "The Siege" Fang Hongji!
It turns out that this is the historical truth, and his great-great-uncle and grandfather Yuan Hongjian is really the prototype of Fang Hongji!!
What kind of affection is this, what kind of affection is it, what kind of affection is it, and what kind of affection is it?!
Heck, I'm a neoclassical liberal master in the future, so wouldn't there be no "Siege" on this timeline?!
This is ...... That's great!
By the way, now this Qian kid is also living a miserable life.
After Qian Zhongshu was born, he passed on to his uncle, the famous calligrapher Qian Jicheng. And Qian Jicheng is childless because of his old age, so he can't help but love this heir, and adopts a sheep-herding education for him, teaching every afternoon, and taking him to the teahouse in the morning to listen to the book. Therefore, Qian Xiaozi gradually became infected with the bad habits of getting up late and going to bed late, eating and playing, and became a little boy.
However, when Qian Jicheng passed away in 1920, Qian Jibo began to directly discipline his son, in order to let him catch up with the progress of new education, he made up for the mathematics of Qian children. But the son just didn't open his mind, so angry that he had no choice but to carry out physical education.
God open your eyes. Who told you to make fun of our old Yuan family? After Lao Tzu returns to China...... Hum!
"This ...... If you don't say that I forgot, I did receive a letter of condolence from his old man. But I was too busy to reply. Sins, sins, sins. ”
Yuan Yanqian patted her thigh and said with some excitement: "I'll write to him later, by the way...... Ask him about his son-in-law. ”
"His son?" Meng Xiancheng wondered, "Teacher Qianlu's son seems to be only ten years old, do you know him?" ”
Our Master Yuan nodded fiercely and said, "Yes, that's a good boy." There will definitely be something to be done in the future! ”
