Chapter 58 07
Chen Muwu's itinerary for lecturing in Jiang Province was quite tight.

He first followed Zhang Naiyan to Hainan Railway Station, then took the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Line train to Jiaxing, where he gave a lecture at the Provincial No. [-] Middle School.

Then continue boarding the car to Hangzhou County, and give a lecture at Provincial No. [-] Middle School and Provincial No. [-] Normal School.

After leaving Hangzhou County, the two crossed the Qiantang River from the gate under Baita Ridge in the south of the city, entered the Xiaocao Canal in Xixing on the other side of the river, took a boat along the canal waterway of thousands of years, passed directly through Shaoxing City, and finally passed through Shaoxing City at the end of the Cao'e River. I got off the awning boat on the west bank and waited for the ferry across the river beside the Cao'e Temple.

Cao E is naturally enshrined in Cao E Temple, a filial daughter in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But it is not Cao E who makes Cao E Temple famous in the world, but his family Cao Cao.

There is a stele of Cao E in the temple. Cai Wenji's father, Cai Yong, once inscribed eight characters on the stele, "Yellow silk young woman, grandson Jijiu".

One day Cao Cao and Yang Xiu passed by here, Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu if he knew what these eight characters meant.Yang Xiu was quick-witted, and he could see the deep meaning in the words at once. Cao Cao told him not to say it. It was not until he walked another thirty miles that Cao Cao figured out that the meaning behind these eight words was "excellent and good words." "Four words.

After telling this story to Zhang Naiyan, the ship crossing the river also arrived at the ferry in front of Cao'e Temple.

The two of them boarded a boat and crossed to the other bank of the river. After crossing the other bank of the river, they arrived at Chen Muwu's hometown, Qiyu County.

Whether on the Qiantang River, the Cao'e River, or the Xixing Canal connecting the two, Chen Muwu never felt the slightest bit of seasickness.

But I don't know why, as soon as he got to the sea, he started to spin around, it's really weird!

According to Zhang Naiyan's arrangement, they should board the Yong-Cao Line train from Cao'e Station on the south bank of the Cao'e River, sit directly at the terminal in Zhubo, and then give lectures at Provincial No. [-] Middle School in Yin County and Yongjiang Girls' Middle School. Even if the task is successfully completed.

But before leaving, Chen Muwu's elder brother, Chen Muqiao, insisted that Zhang Naiyan add one more school to the itinerary, and that was Chunhui Middle School by the Baima Lake, next to Yiting Station in Qiyu County.

Chen Muqiao's move was not because he believed in the saying in "The Benji of Xiang Yu" that "wealth and honor do not return to the hometown, but travels at night like embroidered clothes", but because this Chunhui Middle School has a lot of connections with their old Chen family.

Chen Chunlan, the great-uncle of the three brothers of the Chen family, left his hometown and came to the Shili foreign market after the opening of the port in Ghaihai. He started as a small boy in a bank and has grown to open more than a dozen banks in Ghaihai.

Chen Chunlan didn't have many heirs, and there were so many banks that lacked people to manage them, so he selected a smart and capable one from his own children to take over. That's why Chen Muwu's second brother, Chen Muping, got the bank on Jiangnai Road.

Chen Chunlan did not forget his hometown in his old age. He first allocated funds to establish Chunhui Primary School in Jiayu, and later allocated a huge sum of 15 yuan to build Chunhui Middle School by the shore of Baima Lake.

The current principal of Chunhui Middle School, Jing Hengyi, was also Chen Muqiao's hometown and senior when he was studying in this school. When he learned that his third brother was going back to his hometown to give lectures, he immediately wrote to invite Chen Muwu to come to Chunhui Middle School to give a lecture.

Due to emotion and reason, Chen Muqiao couldn't refuse the invitation, so he begged Zhang Naiyan to add this school to his itinerary.

Zhang Naiyan wished Chen Muwu could speak more, so he agreed without hesitation.

It should be said that among the few lectures in Jiang Province, the one that surprised Chen Muwu the most was the one at Chunhui Middle School.

Although the school has only been built for less than a year, the faculty is very strong. In the school, he met Xia Mianzun who translated "Education of Love", met Zhu Ziqing who thought of him while waiting for the bus at Pu Station, and saw the man who draws cartoons. Feng Zikai, as well as Feng Zikai's teacher, Li Shutong, the famous Master Hongyi.

After the lecture, Zhang and Chen stayed at the school for one night, chatting with all the famous teachers all night long.

Chen Muwu told Master Hongyi that he likes the "Song of the Evening" created by his husband the most. It was this song he heard when he was young, which made him develop a good habit of cherishing time since he was a child.

Master Hongyi also praised Chen Muwu for his good composition. Apparently, he had already read the song "Orchid Grass" in the newspaper.

At the end of the candle-lit night talk, after everyone left, the young teacher Feng Zikai suddenly had a sudden inspiration and drew the first cartoon in his life, "After the people leave, a crescent moon and the sky are like water" .

After the lecture was over and Congjiang returned to Ghaihai, Chen Muwu finally received a telegram from Eddington at his work unit.

On the other hand, in Germany, although Einstein had said long ago that he would recommend Planck to study at Humboldt University in Berlin, there was no movement.

Apart from the reprinted thesis, he received the "Annals of Physics" in January this time, and there was no other news from Germany.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, and the British Consulate General in Shanghai also sent officials to Chen's house on Seymour Road to inform Chen Muwu that he was invited to study abroad by Cambridge University.

No matter how much he tried to hide this matter, he couldn't hide it, so whether Chen Muwu wanted to go west to study abroad this time became the top priority of the Chen family's discussion these days.

According to Chen Muwu's thinking, of course he wanted to agree to this matter without hesitation.Because now, everything is still following the life trajectory that Chen Muwu had planned for himself when he first traveled, and is proceeding step by step: get to know Einstein, pass his recommendation, publish papers in European journals, gain a certain international reputation, and then go to In the UK, go to Cambridge, go to Cavendish Laboratory to study abroad, and build a bigger sky for yourself.

The second elder brother, Chen Muping, has no idea about his younger brother studying abroad. He thinks that since Chen Muwu has grown up, he should act according to his own wishes.

What's more, I'm still the second child in my family, and the one who speaks the least of the three brothers, so I just let things take their course.

The elder brother, Chen Muqiao, was the most entangled. On the one hand, he regretted that his younger brother could not go abroad directly after graduating from a bachelor's degree, because he did not dare to disobey his mother's order and return home to work.

On the other hand, he was really afraid of seeing his mother sad.

The old lady of the Chen family really did what her eldest son thought, with 180 reluctances in her heart.

She secretly cursed those money-greedy and lazy matchmakers in her heart. It's been so long since the New Year. After taking the money, why haven't they found a good match for their young son?
The family meeting fell into the tug-of-war between Chen Muwu and Mrs. Chen.

In the end, it was the mother's distressed child. With tears in her eyes, the old lady agreed to let Chen Muwu go to study in the UK.

But at the same time, she made a request that Chen Muwu must get married before going abroad.

Another thing is that you must return to your country immediately after you get your degree, and don't stay in a foreign country for a long time.

Although Chen Muwu agreed with his mouth, what he thought in his heart was that after he became famous, he must find an opportunity to take his family away from the sea, and not let them live at the forefront of this war.

As for getting married?Of course, the soles of the feet are oiled, the faster you slip, the better!
The matter seemed to be resolved perfectly, but everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts.

 Wait for one more.
