The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 288 He’s Coming (Part 1)
This chapter's subtitle: Fire, theft, and master
Monday morning, June 20, 1921.
"The Guardian: 'A strange Chinese man from New York lands at Southampton Port'... Ha..."
The Guardian was founded in 1821 and has a radical political orientation and a left-leaning stance.
It’s a pity that I am not Napoleon, otherwise the ending would be “Your Majesty will arrive in his loyal London today”.
"The Daily Telegraph: 'A low-brow Chinese writer who consistently slanders the British Empire clashed with innocent people at the dock'... Haha..."
The Daily Telegraph was founded in 1855 and can be called the mouthpiece of the British Conservative Party.
It seems that the Conservatives are very dissatisfied with me. Then I have to keep a low profile before making that big news.
"The Times: 'The Unspeakable Eastern Wizard and the Unexplained Dockside Mystery'... Hahaha..."
The Times was founded in 1785. This newspaper is "whoever is in the center supports whoever" and basically keeps pace with the British ruling government.
As expected, it is the largest newspaper in the UK and it even learned the word "unspeakable".
The three newspapers that our Master Yuan was reading while having breakfast in the restaurant were the three major newspapers of the British Empire.
In addition, the UK's national "premium" newspapers include the Financial Times, the Observer, the Sunday Times and the Sunday Telegraph.
To explain briefly, all British daily newspapers are closed on Sundays. To fill this gap, there are two weeklies published exclusively on Sundays: The Sunday Times (no relation to The Times) and The Sunday Telegraph (sister paper of The Daily Telegraph).
To expand a little further, the three most famous magazines in the UK at present are The Economist, The Spectator and The Times Literary Supplement.
The Economist is the most famous liberal economic magazine, and the cover of each issue is printed with the message of participating in a battle between the wisdom that drives progress and the timid ignorance that hinders our progress.
The Spectator is the oldest political weekly in the UK.
The last one is the most influential literary weekly in the UK. Yuan Yanshu actually submitted a manuscript to this magazine, but for understandable reasons, it was rejected.
"Morning, Neo."
"Good morning, Albert. Oh, and Mrs. Einstein and Mr. Weizmann."
Yuan Yan suddenly threw down the newspaper, stood up, and asked the three neatly dressed people, "Are you leaving now?"
Einstein nodded and replied, "Yes, Neo. We have come to say goodbye to you."
He pointed at his companion and said, "Haim is going back to Manchester..."
Israel’s first president, Chaim Weizmann, is still a professor of chemistry at the University of Manchester.
Master Yuan really didn’t know there was a University of Manchester. He only knew about Manchester United.
"And Elsa and I booked a boat ticket back to Europe today."
“It’s such a shame you’re leaving so soon!” Lord Fool walked over and hugged Your Excellency the Judge. “But I think we’ll meet in China next year.”
Einstein nodded affirmatively and said, "Neo, thank you for your invitation. I will definitely go to China next year."
According to the original historical storyline, Einstein would indeed have gone to Asia at the end of the next year, but he had accepted an invitation from the Japanese Kaizosha. In this historical storyline, his main purpose was to give lectures in China.
Yuan Yanshu really, really, really wanted to use the opportunity of his visit to China to make more young people in Serbia interested in science. It would be a great thing if there were a few more people like the "Three Qians".
Then, our Master Yuan shook the Zionist leader’s hands again and said succinctly: “Mr. Weizmann, the Dead Sea.”
"Dead Sea, Dr. Yuan." The other party nodded and said, "I will organize the staff immediately after I return."
"Well, Mr. Weizmann, Mrs. Einstein, and Mr. Einstein , goodbye."
"Goodbye, Dr. Yuan."
After seeing these three off, Yuan Yan suddenly remembered that he had been here all day and hadn't even called his niece and nephew-in-law, his two "younger generations," to let them know he was safe. This seemed a bit unkind.
So he walked to the phone and started dialing: "Hello, put me in touch with the Embassy of the Republic of China in London..."
"Huilan, look at this good uncle you found..."
Minister Gu Weijun, who was also having breakfast, put down the newspaper in his hand and complained to his wife with a mixture of anger and amusement.
Huang Huilan, who was playing with the pet dog at her feet, straightened up and retorted, "My uncle is quite good. My aunt likes him very much, and even my brother praises him highly."
Her younger brother is naturally "His Majesty the Devil" Huang Zongyi.
This Major Arcana of the SCP Foundation went back to Southeast Asia before Lord Fool. When passing through London, he met with his brother-in-law and sister, and naturally praised his uncle to great lengths.
After all, the old man dotes on his young wife. After hearing this, Gu Weijun could only smile bitterly and said, "Well, since both your families agree, it's not easy for me, an outsider, to say anything. It's just that..."
He sighed, shook his head slightly and said, "I always feel that your two families will have troubles ."
"What's the big deal? My grandparents are so happy to have a son-in-law like him..."
Huang Huilan was still stubborn when her expression suddenly changed and she blurted out, "You said, if we know, will they know too?"
"They..." Gu Weijun also frowned deeply and said, "News from Britain can't reach France so quickly. And Baokun is in the monastery, so it's not so easy for news from outside to get in..."
"Shaochuan, have you forgotten? Miss Tang has already come out."
"Yeah, she's out!"
At this point, the dignified Chinese ambassador to the United States could no longer sit still. He tore off his napkin and stood up, saying, "I have to send a telegram to Mr. Wu Er, asking him to be extremely careful!"
It turned out that Ms. Tang Baokun had not yet finished her worldly ties and could not stay in the monastery any longer, so she was reluctantly taken out by everyone.
But after Ms. Tang was released, whether out of despair or embarrassment, she refused to return to China and went to study economics at the University of Paris.
Logically speaking, the marriage between the Tang and Wu families has come to this point and is considered a failure.
But love really has no logic. Young Master Wu actually fell in love with Tang Baokun, so he stayed in Paris.
He didn't care that his sweetheart treated him coldly at first, and he shamelessly stayed by Ms. Tang's side all day long.
As the saying goes, a virtuous woman is afraid of a clingy man.
Seeing that Tang Baokun seemed to be softening, this matter was likely to have a happy ending for everyone. However, at this critical juncture, Corsica...the monster from Seris landed in the port of Southampton!
