Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 139 87 Sinologists and cultural relic thieves

Jiang is still old and hot, and it was the idea of ​​Prince Gustav Adolf, Crown Prince of Sweden, to encourage Prince Albert to invite Chen Muwu to the British Embassy.

His own daughter, Princess Ingrid, is 14 years old. According to the Chinese poet Du Mu, it is the age of cardamom.

Moreover, although the princesses of European royal families are not poor, they all have to be in charge of the family early.

In the past few days, the newspapers in Paris have published a lot of news and photos related to Chen Hanchen who was born in the swimming competition, so the little princess is arguing every day, asking her father to take her to the scene to watch the competition for a while.

As a result, after arriving at the scene, the Crown Prince of Sweden immediately understood what it means to see once, and Ingrid directly became Chen Muwu's fan girl.

So the Crown Prince of Sweden, who watched the last game, was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he wanted to meet this amazing Chinese kid, but he didn't want him to have too much contact with his daughter.

Then Prince Gustav had an idea and saw his cousin standing beside him.

Since this Chen Muwu is a British student and an alumnus of Prince Albert, and the British second child seems to have praised Chen Muwu since the competition a few days ago, it is better to ask him to come forward to invite him, so that he can make it without bringing him. In the case of my daughter, I met Chen Muwu.

So the Crown Prince of Sweden and the Duke of York proposed this idea, and Prince Albert also had this idea long ago, so the two hit it off in the audience of the 100-meter freestyle final. This is why the royal servant sent an invitation letter to Chen Muwu two days ago that scene.

Chen Muwu did not expect to see the Crown Prince of Sweden at the British Embassy today.

He greeted the two people separately, and introduced Best beside him to them.

The so-called dinner party is actually just a kind of polite talk, no one really comes here to eat.

The four sat down as guests and hosts, and the Duke of York couldn't wait to show his hospitality as soon as they sat down.

"Mr. Chen, I watched your race by the Thames in May this year. In the rowing race, Cambridge lost to Oxford, and I also lost to my brother, the Prince of Wales, because of a failed bet. Rolls Royce sedan.

"But fortunately you showed up in time. My personal servant told me that a swimming genius had recently appeared in Cambridge University, so I dubiously dragged the Prince of Wales to make two more bets. As a result, at the end of the day, I not only failed Lost and won £1 back from my brother.

"I didn't expect to see you again at the Olympic Games this time. I saw the familiar Cambridge blue at the opening ceremony. I knew that you would definitely create new miracles in this Olympic Games."

Chen Muwu didn't listen to any of the compliments that the Duke of York said later.

His focus was on 1 pounds. Hearing this figure, Chen Muwu took a breath in his heart: What is the concept of 1 pounds?This is one-third more than the annual funding of the Cavendish Laboratory.

As a result, the Duke of York spoke very calmly, as if the money was not considered money.

Since the big guy came to your door by himself, then don't blame me, Old Chen, for wanting to kill you severely today.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Chen Muwu continued to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, "I was just lucky, because I was lucky, so I won a few championships."

"Mr. Chen, what you said is wrong. If you are all lucky, then what are those athletes who won No.2 and No.3?" The Swedish crown prince took the words, "I finished watching you with the Duke of York During the whole competition, I was especially impressed by your movements in the second breaststroke final. I feel that you are not like a frog in the water, but like a butterfly. How did you develop such a unique and unique feeling? From a faster stroke?"

Chen Muwu looked at this middle-aged man in his forties. When the British prince introduced him just now, he said he was a "sinologist", right?

Then I have to fool you.

"His Royal Highness, when the Duke of York introduced you just now, he mentioned that you are a sinologist with profound knowledge.

"I don't know how deep your understanding of Chinese culture is, but the new swimming style I developed was indeed inspired by creatures like butterflies, and this inspiration was comprehended from Chinese culture.

"I think since you are interested in Chinese culture, do you know that there was a great philosopher named Zhuang Zhou in ancient my country?"

As Chen Muwu had expected, the Swedish crown prince shook his head.

He continued: "Zhuang Zhou once dreamed that he had turned into a butterfly, and he felt free and at ease.

"After waking up, he began to have some doubts about life, whether he turned into a butterfly in his dream, or the butterfly turned into Zhuang Zhou in his dream.

"In addition, in my hometown, a village named Zhujiazhuang in Qiyu County, Jiangxi Province, there is another love story that happened.

"The content of this legend is basically similar to Romeo and Juliet written by the great British writer Shakespeare. It also tells about a pair of young people who love each other but cannot be together because of family obstruction.

"But I think the ending of this love tragedy is a bit more romantic than Luo Zhu's ending, because in the end, this pair of lovers who couldn't love each other turned into a pair of butterflies, and this time they can finally be together.

"There is a unique romance in the Chinese people's bones. It was inspired by this myth and legend from my hometown that I finally comprehended, experienced and developed this new form of swimming style. I did not expect to be able to win in the Olympics. Good grades."

These two foreigners, no, these three foreigners have never seen this before, they were all taken aback by Chen Muwu.

Even Best, who was sitting next to him, ignored the risk of being rude at the dinner table, leaned over to Chen Muwu and whispered, "Chen, why haven't you told me this story before?"

"It's too romantic, it's really too romantic, Mr. Chen, the legend you told is definitely a good story that doesn't lose to "Romeo and Juliet"."

The Duke of York even applauded.

The Crown Prince of Sweden’s eyes are full of light: “Mr. Chen, since I accidentally collected the first piece of porcelain from China, I have been attracted by the exquisite patterns on it.

"Later, as I learned more about China, I realized more and more that it is a country full of magic.

"At the dinner table today, after listening to you tell this story, China fascinates me even more. Coupled with Mr. Sven Heding's constant invitation, I plan to visit China within two years. I think I can only see it with my own eyes. Once you see it, you can appreciate the mysterious oriental beauty."

Cut, speaking is better than singing.

Chen Muwu cursed secretly in his heart

They talk about "Sinologists", but they don't even know who Zhuang Zhou is. In fact, he is just a lover of Chinese cultural relics.

As for the interview, Chen Muwu knew what the crown prince was actually going to do without even thinking about it.

Purchase chant!
Nasven Heding said it nicely, calling him an explorer who went deep into the hinterland of Central Asia, but in fact he was still a colonial cultural relic dealer in essence.

Although it is a little better than his other kinsman, Stein, the number of cultural relics that flowed from him to Europe is also innumerable.

Moreover, the government of the Republic of China at this time was also extremely weak. They didn't even dare to drive away the little emperor in the Forbidden City, and they even declared that all the national treasures in the palace were the private property of the Aixinjueluo family.

Suppose at this time, a foreign prince visits China and visits various places.

So wherever this Yang Baylor goes, he will definitely be warmly received by officials from all over the country.

Not to mention that he wants to take away some cultural relics, even if the Crown Prince of Sweden does not have this idea, Chen Muwu thinks that those hospitable local officials will probably wave their hands and rush to take away the cultural relics and cultural relics that they think are not worth a lot of money. A national treasure, given as a gift.

If he didn't know about this matter, he could just pay it back, but now that Chen Muwu has caught up with him, he feels that he can't just sit idly by, and he has to do everything possible to stop his visit.

Chen Muwu thought for a while, and then said: "His Royal Highness, I have to stop you here, China is just 'looking beautiful' now.

"Now the country is still in the midst of a civil war between the north and the south, or to be more precise, in the midst of the lords' melee. Except for the largest cities, Laihai and Beijing, it is difficult for other places to guarantee your safety.

"You may not know much about Zhuang Zhou just mentioned. But if I want to mention Confucius, as a sinologist, you should have at least heard of this man, right?"

This time the Crown Prince of Sweden nodded.

"Confucius once said something like, 'A gentleman should not stand under a wall that is about to collapse', and he also said something else, 'Don't go to a dangerous place, and don't live in a chaotic place'.

"Another minister named Yuan An once persuaded his emperor, saying 'very rich people should not sit under the beams of houses'."

"These words have been circulated in China for thousands of years. As the future king of Sweden, I don't think it is necessary to risk your life."

"It's just." Although Prince Gustav Adolf was a little shaken, he was obviously not completely convinced by Chen Muwu, "Isn't there another proverb in China called 'A hundred times hearing is not as good as meeting once'? I think If I didn't go to that magical land for a walk, I might not really experience and understand Chinese culture.

"I think, if careful planning has been made in advance and strict protective measures are taken throughout the process, shouldn't there be any major problems?"
