Date.

The night after leaving Tianyi, we got off the train at Pu Station on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Whether in the United States, in Europe, or in the sea, even if you are in a sleeping car, the taste of long-distance trains is not so pleasant.

Fortunately, in China, the snacks along the railway line are much better than those in the food desert of Britain.

And it's cheap, as long as you have the money, you can buy enough and delicious food from the vendors on the platform whenever and wherever the train stops at the station.

According to Dr. Chen, our route to the south basically coincides with the route of an ancient Chinese emperor named Ch'ien Lung.

The emperor was probably one of China's most famous gourmets, and while inspecting the lives of the people under his rule, he also ate countless snacks in various places.

Therefore, along the way, many of the snacks we saw on the platform of the railway station were advertised with the praise of the emperor after that.

But Dr. Chen also told me that their advertisements were basically far-fetched, because the emperor could not have eaten so many snacks.

It's like a lot of people in the West like to give an example of a dish that has appeared in Shakespeare's works.

But if you open the complete works of Shakespeare, you won't find such a dish in it – it's just that no one reads Shakespeare idle, so no one will test whether the emperor has ever eaten this snack.

Dr. Chen also said that because we were all the way south, the hero of the food legend in this place was this emperor.

If we had traveled west instead of south, the protagonist of the story would have been Tz'u Hsi, a queen mother who was almost the same age as Queen Victoria.

After getting off the train from Pu Station, we hired two porters to deliver our luggage and walked non-stop to the pier near the train station, where we boarded a boat to cross the Yangtze River.

The Yangtze River is the largest and longest river in China.

Shenjing is a city located on the banks of the Yangtze River and the second largest city in the Yangtze River basin after the Yangtze River.

We didn't stop here for long, and after crossing the river, we arrived at Shengjing Station, where we boarded the evening train that connected to the previous series car.

After a night of clanging on the train today, and when we open our eyes tomorrow, we will reach the last stop of Dr. Chen's return journey, the largest city in China and even in the Far East.

……

Although when he was about to leave Tianyu, Chen Muwu was startled by a group of uninvited guests who suddenly appeared on the platform.

But after seeing Ma Yuzao and Ye Qisun and his party, he immediately gained insight into what the purpose of these two people coming to Tianyu was.

Oppenheimer beside him, along with the soldiers of the Feng Army, was carrying the luggage of the two of them down from the body of the truck.

Chen Muwu also made up his mind at this moment, and stayed in Tianyu for two days on this journey home, which was already beyond his plan.

No matter what they said this time, he would definitely not turn back and head north to Shaojing.

Chen Muwu first instructed Oppenheimer to carry his luggage to the carriage with the soldier.

Then he jumped out of the car and walked towards some old acquaintances with a smile.

After greeting each other, as Chen Muwu guessed, several of them came to Tianyu just to invite Chen Muwu to give a lecture in Shaojing.

In addition to the two deceased people he knew, Ma Yuzao and Ye Qisun, Chen Muwu also met the president of Beijing University, Stewart, and his assistant and secretary, Fu Jingbo.

Chen Muwu didn't expect that he would be able to alarm such a person when he returned to China.

The situation in Shao Jing is far more complicated than that of Tianyu.

The latter has only one Nankai University, but the former, as the capital of China, is also rich in educational resources.

Today, there are only three universities that have sent representatives to Tianyu, and there are still a few that have not come.

Even if you give only one lecture at each university, it is not a small amount when you add it up.

As long as you agree to go to Shaojing, you will have to go around there for at least half a week to a week.

Chen Muwu really didn't want to take a bunch of luggage to toss again.

If he had decided to go to Shaojing a long time ago, he would not have parted ways with the Swedish crown prince and his party in Mukden in advance, because the first stop of the Swedish mission after coming to China was Shaojing.

Historically, because this was the first foreign head of state to visit China who was interested in China's ancient culture, the Palace Museum in Shaojing also specially unsealed a batch of rare cultural relics for the Swedish crown prince to play with and appreciate.

How the Swedish crown prince is welcomed in Shaojing is a matter for the Beiyang government and scholars from all walks of life in Shaojing, and Chen Muwu can't reach it.

Since leaving the University of Cambridge in the UK, Chen Muwu has been on the road for more than a month.

At this time, even if you don't take a faster train, you can almost reach the sea by boat from the port of Marseille in France.

As a result, he is still adrift on the journey, and Chen Muwu has only one thought in his heart, that is, to return to his home as soon as possible.

But the people who visited Tianyu from Shaojing didn't know what Chen Muwu was thinking.

I didn't go to Nankai University and met the main owner on the platform of the train station, so everyone launched an offensive and invited him to give lectures at the schools they represented.

Stewart, who is the least familiar with Chen Muwu, tried to "tempt" Chen Muwu with money.

He felt that he had offered a high price that could not be refused, a thousand yuan a week.

As everyone knows, Chen Muwu only stayed in Tianyu for two days, and Zhang Boling, the president of Nankai University, prepared a bundle of 500 silver yuan.

Although Stewart claims to be a China Communicator and the price he gives is reasonable, he still has a bit of American arrogance.

And Ye Qisun began to draw cakes for Chen Muwu.

Perhaps he thought that Chen Muwu wanted to stay in China when he returned to China this time, so he invited Chen Muwu to join him in building the physics department of Tsinghua University to cultivate a new generation of physics talents for the country.

He also said that he also found a good seedling of physics in Tsinghua University, a student surnamed Wang from Su Changyi.

As soon as he heard the good seedlings, Chen Muwu immediately became interested.

It is still Ye Qisun who knows himself best and knows what he wants most at the moment.

But there are too many physics talents cultivated under Ye Qisun, even if the two conditions of surname and place of origin are given, Chen Muwu doesn't know who he is talking about.

This time, he really wanted to follow Ye Qisun to Tsinghua University in Shaojing to have a look, but looking at the luggage that had been loaded into the car, and Oppenheimer, who was sitting in the car and staring at him while looking at the luggage, Chen Muwu was still a little undecided.

Ma Yuzao, who had been waiting for the last, was also very close to Chen Muwu, and the last one stepped forward.

He knew that Shao Da was not as rich as Tsinghua University and Yuda, and he couldn't give so much remuneration, and he couldn't make a promise to build a laboratory together.

But thinking that the principal Jiang Menglin was asking himself like that in his office, Ma Yuzao had no choice but to step forward.

One has no money and the other has no technology, so after thinking about it, he decided to play the emotional card.

Ma Yuzao took Chen Muwu's hand and talked for a long time, looking back on the bits and pieces that happened when he was lecturing at Shaoda three years ago.

It was only in the end that he left behind a very devastating sentence, saying that the children in the family also missed him.

It's good that Ma Yuzao didn't say this, but when he finished speaking, Chen Muwu suddenly realized that this Shaojing was never to go.

After so many years, several children of the Ma family have now passed the age of cardamom and have become twenty-eight beauties.

He Lao Chen is a person who is about to get married, but he can't get into trouble with himself anymore.

Although the current people's society pays attention to "real celebrities and celebrities", Chen Muwu still doesn't want to let the future marketing account arrange all kinds of peachy news for himself.

At this time, on the platform of Tianyi East Station, the preparation bell before departure sounded.

But because Chen Muwu came to the platform in Fengjun's military car, neither the staff at the railway station nor the driver and crew on the train dared to put on the usual posture of commanding the passengers.

A staff member cautiously approached and asked Chen Muwu if he could drive now.

After all, Chen Muwu is a good law-abiding citizen, and he definitely doesn't want to see that because of his own reasons, the whole vehicle passengers can't reach their destination on time, so he nodded his head in agreement.

The staff relieved Chen Muwu and let him find an excuse to get out.

He could only apologize to inform the four people who came from the three universities in Shaojing that he would not be able to go to Shaojing to give lectures this time.

Fortunately, on the way back, he will still pass by in Shaojing, and if he has the opportunity at that time, he will definitely accept everyone's invitation.

Before getting into the car, Chen Muwu also left a small note for Ye Qisun with his family's address in Qihai, asking him to inform the student surnamed Wang that if he went home from summer vacation, if he had the opportunity, please come to his home.

The abnormality is not far from the sea, although there is no train, but the way to the sea is still very convenient.

After saying these words, Chen Muwu, who was standing at the door of the car, waved goodbye to these people.

He suddenly wanted to say, farewell, Situ ......

But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them in the end.

The conductor closed the door of the carriage and the train left Tianyi East Station on time.

He Chen Muwu, the main thing is not to cause trouble to others.

It wasn't until he got off the train and crossed the Yangtze River that Chen Muwu took advantage of the waiting time to hang up a phone call at the post office of Shengjing Station on the other side of the river, informing him of the news that he would arrive in the sea the next morning.

The family had long known that Chen Muwu was going to return to China, but they never knew the specific date of his return until they received a long-distance call from him.

The reason why Chen Muwu did such a play was mainly because he was afraid of his second brother.

Every time he makes some achievements, the second brother always uses the latest fashion way to publish in the newspaper to announce it to the world.

Chen Muwu clearly remembered that the day after he received the invitation to give a lecture at Shao University, the largest "declaration" in Shanghai published a message that his second brother was going to give a lecture that he had bought with money.

It is estimated that in the past few years abroad, there must have been a lot of various news about him in the newspapers.

If he had informed himself in advance of the date of going home when he was leaving Tianyu this time, Chen Muwu felt that his second brother would inevitably be in the newspaper.

When the time came to walk out of the train station, he would be greeted by reporters from Shanghai newspapers with notebooks and pens in their hands, and photographers behind them.

Chen Muwu is not like to be lively by nature, and he thinks it is better to have fewer such scenes.

But even if he didn't notify in advance, the second brother didn't report the news in advance, but the next morning when he walked out of the exit of Qihaibei Station, in addition to the second brother who came to pick up the station, Chen Muwu still saw an old acquaintance.

Zhao Junhao, reporter of "Declaration", Einstein's speech at the Ministry of Industry on New Year's Day in 1923, and an interview at the Cangzhou Hotel a few days later, Chen Muwu had met him twice.

The "Yishi Daily" published the entire itinerary of Chen Muwu's arrival in Tianjin, and the "Declaration" hall had a reporter in Tianyu.

They deduced from the news the approximate date of Chen Muwu's return, and then sent his old acquaintance Zhao Junhao to wait for the rabbit at the North Station every day.

Although Chen Muwu, who left home at a young age, may have some changes in appearance and dress compared with a few years ago.

But his second brother Chen Muping is a banker on Jiang Yi Road, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the ten-mile foreign market.

You only need to see who Chen Muping is picking up to know who the famous Chen Muwu is.

So when Chen Muping ran to the exit of the station, hugged his third brother and wept and asked for warmth - he was not surprised that Chen Muwu also brought back a foreigner, because the eldest brother once went to Europe to participate in an award ceremony for the younger brother, saying that Chen Muwu was very popular with foreigners abroad and made a lot of friends - Zhao Junhao also quietly came up.

He didn't plan to ruin this moment when his relatives met, but wanted to wait for the two brothers to greet each other and get ready to get in the car, and then come forward to see if they could have an interview.

Chen Muwu had already seen Zhao Junhao, and when he was interviewed by reporters, he had experienced a lot of battles and seen a lot.

Which country in the West does he ...... Pass?

Chen Muwu didn't want Zhao Junhao to publish this news in the "Declaration", telling the whole sea that he had returned to his hometown.

My homecoming trip this time was already tight on time and heavy tasks, and I didn't want many people to visit after learning about this incident and say some meaningless polite compliments.

As the time got closer to 1927, the mountain rain was coming, and the situation in the sea became more complicated.

Suddenly, there was an influx of people from inside and outside the concession, belonging to various factions.

Chen Muwu's move is also a wise way to protect himself in troubled times.

He and Zhao Junhao promised that as long as they did not publish the news of his return to Shanghai in the "Declaration", he would accept an exclusive interview with Zhao Da's reporter later.

Which of these two pieces of news is more important, Zhao Junhao can still distinguish clearly.

reported that Chen Muwu returned to Shanghai, which was at best just a field service.

But if you can do an exclusive interview with Chen Muwu like the previous one at the Cangzhou Hotel, it will be a big news.

The remuneration that these two news stories can receive from the newspaper is completely different.

So Zhao Junhao agreed to this matter without hesitation, and the news of Chen Muwu's return to the sea did not appear on the "Declaration" at all.

Although Zhao Junhao patted his chest and promised that he would never break his word, they were by no means the only newspapers in Shanghai.

The next day, the news appeared in Sherlock Holmes, one of the four major tabloids in Shanghai, which was only launched on July 3 this year.

As for who the source is......

Chen Muwu, who was busy lobbying Mrs. Chen to give up her property and go to Europe with her, was tired of the invitations and business cards that kept coming, so she could only claim that she was sick at home, saying that after she came back from Europe, she began to adapt to the water and soil.

Everyone knows that Chen Muwu is pretending to be sick.

But the other party has already shown this attitude, so it is inconvenient to continue to harass with a cheeky face.

After all, they are all upper-class figures with heads and faces.

Until another person who didn't open his eyes sent an invitation to the engagement banquet.

After seeing the names of the couple written on it, Chen Muwu, who had been hiding at home for several days, finally planned to go out to have fun.
