Subtitle of this chapter: Elites in the United States are acquaintances

"It's coming, it's coming, Minister Shi is out!"

Three backgrounds are about the same, they are about the same age, and their educational qualifications are ...... Well, the young man who was about the same was greeting when he heard a commotion in front of him.

Cao Linsheng hurriedly said: "Brother Hongji, Brother Zhenren, the younger brother is out of company first." ”

"Brother Qingzhi, please."

Major Cao hurried to the first row, which was the area for embassy staff. And Camel Xiangzi pulled President Yuan to a relatively backward position. In fact, the current status of the two of them is just the representative of international students.

The host of this welcome ceremony was naturally Luo Jiaxiang's first secretary, but according to his nephew, he would soon be able to become a counselor as he wished.

As soon as Minister Shi Zhaoji and his entourage walked out of the customs gate, the music of "Backgammon" sounded, and everyone waved the five-color flag in their hands. Although there are only a few dozen people, the atmosphere is quite warm.

I have to say that in the eyes of our Master Yuan, who is "fruit black" and "pseudo-Beiyang fan", the five-color flag is much more pleasing to the eye than the wheel flag. Of course, the five-color flag is still not as domineering as the Star Fist ** Bleeding Flag.

Yuan Yanqian is also tall in this year, and he can see this Republic of China diplomat clearly without tiptoeing.

Shi Zhaoji's ancestral home is Hangzhou, and he was born in Suzhou, and his appearance is indeed a bit of a Jiangnan scholar, which is the kind of style with clear eyebrows and beautiful literary qualities. The forty-four-year-old wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a mustache that looks like a great intellectual.

"Chief Shi, this is my nephew Luo Puxiang, currently studying at Cornell University in New York. Speaking of your alumni. ”

Don't look at Camel Xiangzi who doesn't do his job all day long, he likes to drink flower wine and play mahjong, and he is also an Ivy-born intellectual. Shi Zhaoji is the first Chinese student at Cornell University and the first Chinese student to earn a master's degree in the United States.

But he was not the first Chinese doctor to study in the United States, but Wang Changping, a native of Hunan, who returned to China in 1915 after receiving a doctorate in education from the University of Michigan and served as a teacher at the Hunan No. 1 Normal School.

Yes, that's right, this Dr. Wang also once taught the Heavenly Demon Descendants.

"Oh, your Locke family is really a family with a lot of talents." Shi Zhaoji sighed, stretched out his hand and asked Luo Puxiang cordially, "Senior Brother Luo, what major are you studying?" ”

Camel Xiangzi, who had already taken off his hat, did not dare to slack off, and said with a snake stick: "Senior Shi, the younger generation is studying veterinary medicine." ”

Yes, Cornell University is one of the world's leading institutions of higher learning in agriculture. Later, the great communist spy Li Denghui, who was known as the "gravedigger of the cannon party", was a doctor of agriculture from this famous school.

The nickname "Camel Xiangzi" is too well deserved for Luo Puxiang, his surname is Luo, he also looks like a camel, and he will treat camels in the future.

"Very good, very good." Shi Zhaoji happily patted his junior on the shoulder, and said sincerely, "Although China is a big agricultural country, it lags behind Westerners a lot in agricultural technology, and it still relies on the sky for food. A professional like Luo Xuedi will definitely be able to show his strengths after returning to China. ”

Luo Puxiang's animal can't say that in addition to liking to ride a big horse, he is really not interested in other large and small animals, so he has to promise to say yes.

"Chief Shi, this is Yuan Jun, who is famous in the United States......"

Well, when Zhao Ji was talking to Luo Puxiang, he, his wife, and the attachés had already noticed our Master Yuan.

No way, a man with 16 charms like him is the center of attention wherever he goes.

Before Minister Shi could speak, Mrs. Shi, who was standing half a step behind him, snorted coldly and pulled down her face. Tang Baokun's cousin was strange when she saw that Yuan Yanqian could have a good face.

"Oh, you're Brother Hong. Sure enough, it's a talent...... Well, a talent. ”

After this great diplomat saw Master Yuan face-to-face, he immediately felt that this son was really extraordinary. Not only is his appearance handsome, but his temperament is extremely outstanding. At first glance, the painting style of this brother is different from that of others, including himself.

He called Yuan Yanqian "brother", and Master Yuan knew that this was just a polite salutation to show closeness to the juniors, and he couldn't just call the other party "brother".

To put it bluntly, unlike the unified call for comrades after the Red Dynasty, the titles among cultural people before this were extremely exquisite. There are certain rules for when to call the word, when to call the title, how to call the brother and brother, and how to say hello and write the head. For example, even a big man of Shi Zhaoji's status can only call Luo Puxiang and Yuan Yanqi, the words of the two juniors.

If it weren't for the memory of his great-great-uncle and grandfather, a young man like Yuan Hongjian who would be a hundred years later would not be able to understand it at all, and he would definitely make a big joke.

Some of the Republic of China crossed, the description in this regard is simply messy, and the two cultural people call the name as soon as they meet, and there is no common sense at all.

And the characters and numbers of cultural people come in handy in this regard. In short, words are given to elders and peers as adults. And when you become an elder, you have to give yourself a number, so that it can be used by peers and juniors.

Therefore, Yuan Yanqian should call the other party at this time......

"Zhen Ming Gong. The younger generation is rude, and I haven't thanked you for your kindness to this day. He bowed forty-five degrees and said, "Forgive sins." (Author's note: Felling is derived from Vake, the meaning of being a matchmaker.) ）

Minister Shi raised his hand and said: "Brother Hong is polite, and I am just bowing to his meeting." And you've heard of your name in London. Brother Hong and Miss Wei can be called talented and beautiful......"

"Humph!" And her lady snorted heavily.

"Hahaha, I'm also in a hurry, just in a hurry. You're welcome. Shi Zhaoji had no choice but to play a haha and move on to the next one......

Because Minister Shi was going to take the train to Washington tomorrow, he did not make a speech and went directly to the consulate by car.

"Old Yuan, let's go. There will be a banquet in the evening. ”

"Shoko, you go first. I have two more friends to pick up. ”

Luo Puxiang reminded: "Old Yuan, my uncle just told me that Minister Shi appointed you to see you at night. You must come. ”

Yuan Yanqian nodded and said, "Well, I see." ”

A few days ago, he directly told Luo Jiaxiang that he was going to be an adviser to Secretary of State Hughes, and he thought that this uncle must have immediately made a report to Shi Zhaoji.

Think about it, if a Chinese goes to be an adviser to the US Secretary of State, Minister Shi did not show surprise in front of him just now, and that is already his cultivation skills.

That's why he's so anxious to see himself.
