Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 60 09
After booking the boat ticket, the old lady of the Chen family lost her temper again. She was so angry that she even threatened Chen Muwu that although he escaped to get married this time, when she finds a suitable marriage partner for him, it will be up to her family to marry him. Pay the bride and send her to England to marry Chen Muwu.

Of course, Chen Muwu wouldn't believe his mother's angry words. No one's daughter was picked up on the street. It's impossible for her to be married overseas without even seeing the groom for the last time.

But it is true that he does not have much time to stay in the sea, but his luggage has not been packed yet.

Passports, visas from France and Britain, graduation certificates from Jiaoshan School of Jiaotong University, study abroad certificates issued by the Ministry of Education, and invitation letters from Cambridge University. Can't stay out of his sight.

As for clothes and the like, Chen Muwu specially told his sister-in-law not to bring too much, "There is no light load on a long journey", he can definitely wait until he arrives in England before spending money on buying.

Chen Muqiao asked the third brother if he wanted to bring some high-quality tea to his future teachers and classmates in Cambridge from the perspective of sophistication.

It's a pity that he left a few days early. If he had left ten days and a half months later, he would have been able to catch up with the first batch of Mingqian Longjing tea, and let foreigners taste the best tea in China.

Chen Muwu persuaded the eldest brother why there is no need to do so much. No matter how good the tea is, the British still chew peonies in their mouths. They never know how to taste the true taste of tea, and they will definitely add milk and sugar cubes to it.

However, after listening to elder brother talking about gifts, Chen Muwu thought of something that could be used as a gift.

He walked from his house to Gordon Road, got on the tram, and went straight to the sales office of the Commercial Press at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and River Road.

After entering the store, Chen Muwu neither looked at the bookshelf nor asked the clerk, but went straight to the checkout counter and asked the clerk inside for "The Spirit of the Chinese People" written by Gu Hongming. )".

Mention Gu Hongming, some people will say that he is a lunatic, a stubborn old antique.

But from Chen Muwu's point of view, he is definitely a seriously underestimated master of the Republic of China, and it's just that he has overcorrected.

Gu Hongming once said such a passage: "Foreigners will not show us a little respect just because we cut off our braids and put on a suit. I am completely sure that when we Chinese become Westernized and foreign devils, Europeans and Americans will be more respectful. It will only show us more contempt. In fact, the European and American will only respect us when he understands the real Chinese, a people with a civilization quite different from theirs but not inferior to theirs."

These words really touched Chen Muwu's heart.

He who traveled from later generations naturally knew how sanctimonious these foreigners were, but people today don't know!

Especially when Chen Muwu sees all kinds of weird phenomena that are clamoring for comprehensive Westernization, belittling Sinology, and even claiming to replace Chinese characters with Roman letters, he feels that this maverick Gu Hongming has always insisted on spreading Chinese culture to foreigners. , How commendable it is.

Dr. Hu is advocating new culture and new ideas every day, but how does anyone evaluate him?A model of old morality in new culture, a teacher of new ideas in old ethics!
Cursing people without dirty words but every word punishes the heart. This can be said to be one of the few literary highlights of the cursive characters.

In particular, Gu Hongming also hated Dr. Hu, and he also scolded Dr. Hu most fiercely. Based on this alone, he is even a good friend that Chen Muwu has never met before! ——After Cai Yuanpei resigned, Gu Hongming, who had always admired Cai Yuanpei, was the first teacher to resign from Bei University, so before Chen Muwu went north, he had never met this eccentric.

Chen Muwu decided to buy more than a dozen copies of Gu Hongming's book promoting Chinese culture, as a gift for his future teachers and classmates.

Cultural output, start with me!

Chen Muwu thought, if he becomes famous and earns a lot of money in the future, he must sponsor Gu Hongming to publish a series of books: "The Ugly American", "The Ugly British", "The Ugly Me"... …

Then wait for the book to sell well, and he will become a millionaire himself!
……

The day of sailing was getting closer day by day, and everyone in the Chen family fell into the sadness of parting.

The old lady put a string of sandalwood rosary beads on Chen Muwu's wrist, saying that they were the rosary beads she had recited the "Medicine Master Sutra" a thousand times in front of the Bodhisattva, and that they would bless him from disasters along the way. auspicious.

The second brother, Chen Muping, gave him a receipt from the British McKinley Bank [1], the amount on which was [-] pounds.

After arriving in the UK, you only need to open an account at the corresponding bank, and then hand over this document to the counter, and the money will be transferred to his account.

This is enough money for him to squander like a big brother in England for several years.

Eldest brother Chen Muqiao, like he did before going to Beijing, mobilized his contacts and wrote letters to friends and family members far away in the UK, asking them in foreign countries to help his little brother as much as possible .

Not only that, but one night before he left, he called Chen Muwu to his study alone, and asked an inexplicable question with a serious expression: "Little brother, do you know the meaning of the names of our three brothers?"

Of course Chen Muwu knew that the names of the three brothers corresponded to the three ancients.

The eldest brother, Chen Muqiao, whose name is Zheng Xiang, corresponds to Gongsun Qiao, the virtuous minister of Zheng Guo.

The second elder brother, Chen Muping, whose name is Chuqing, corresponds to Qu Ping, a doctor of Chu State, that is, the famous Qu Yuan, who wrote famous poems such as "Li Sao" and "Nine Songs".

And his own name is Chen Muwu, and the word Hanchen corresponds to Su Wu, the loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He was trapped in a foreign country and herded sheep for 19 years, but he never forgot his homeland.

Admirers, love also.

These three ancients were the three that Mr. Chen admired the most, so he named his three sons after them.

After listening to Chen Muwu's explanation, Chen Muqiao nodded and said, "You are right, the reason why my father gave us three brothers such names is because he hoped that we would follow these three sages as an example.

"Brother, I am not capable enough. I have to work hard every day to barely maintain our family. It is definitely not comparable to Zichan;
"As for your second brother, I don't look like Qu Zi, but more like Chen Ping, a wise minister of the Han Dynasty, who managed the bank in an orderly manner;

"On the contrary, my little brother, just like Su Ziqing, is going to go abroad for thousands of miles, and I don't know how many years it will be.

"Brother is of course willing to see you achieve higher achievements, but I prefer that you can be like the sage in the name, don't forget your country, and don't forget where your roots are," Zongrao Yejiu Hu Chenhei , Hundred Alchemy Alchemy Heart Nirvana'."

After finishing speaking, Chen Muqiao, who was always calm and dignified, actually shed two lines of tears.

"Yes, younger brother would like to follow elder brother's instruction."

Chen Muwu was also affected by this situation, and the two brothers were in tears in the study.

When will lovesickness meet each other?

Embarrassed at this time and night.
