Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 1: I'm back.
Subtitle of this chapter: A loud bang on Wall Street, and our protagonist makes a brilliant appearance.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Hongjian... um, Yuan."
"How are you?"
Yuan Hongjian, who grew up with Li Lei and Han Meimei, blurted out: "I'm fine, Thank you. And you? "
The foreign doctor obviously didn't speak English well, and he didn't answer the standard "Me too". Instead, he turned to another young Chinese man beside the bed and said, "Mr. Xu, your friend just has a mild concussion. He will have headaches, dizziness, and temporary amnesia in the next two days, but he will be fine after a few days of rest. I'll prescribe some painkillers for him."
Mr. Xu said gratefully: "Thank you, doctor."
The foreign doctor said naturally: "In fact, the opium you Chinese usually smoke isThe effect is good.”
Mr. Xu's face flashed with anger when he heard this, but he still suppressed it and said firmly: "My friend doesn't touch that!"
After writing the prescription, the foreign doctor shrugged and said casually, "Oh, sorry. I thought all you Chinese people like to smoke opium."
Mr. Xu didn't know how to answer, so he just said, "Doctor, I'll take you downstairs."
Then he turned to Yuan Hongjian who was lying on the bed and said, "Brother Hongjian, you should have a good rest. I'll go buy some medicine and be back soon."
As a "patient", Yuan Hongjian himself had no idea what was going on. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw that the two had already left the room.
Yesterday, I accompanied my parents to my hometown to pay respect to our ancestors and visit their graves during the Qingming Festival. At the dinner table in the evening, my uncles, cousins, nephews, and great-nephews got me drunk. But when I woke up today, I found myself lying in a strange room surrounded by strangers. Anyone would be suspicious.
Yuan Hongjian always felt that something was wrong with him. He looked around the room and saw a large wardrobe with a mirror not far from the bed, so he got out of bed and walked barefoot to the mirror to take a look inside... Then he became completely Spartan.
The man in the mirror looked exactly like him, only a little shorter, a little paler, and more bookish. However, this guy probably had a slight concussion or was constantly overdrawing his body, so his eyes were dull, his face was blue, his nose was red, and his lips were white. He had the handsome appearance of a young man, but he looked like someone who died young and was poor.
The most noticeable thing was that there was a large black bruise on his forehead. No wonder even after changing his body, Yuan Hongjian still had a splitting headache.
Could it be that... I have traveled through time? !
As soon as he thought of the word "time travel", the memories of the original owner of this body flooded into his mind like a flood. Yuan Hongjian's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Now he finally confirmed that he had traveled through time. What was even more incredible was that he had traveled through time as his great-great-grandfather, the eldest son of Yuan Hongjian, a clerk in a bank in the 21st century, and the eldest brother of his great-grandfather.
Since they were a family, the elder he replaced was also named Yuan, and his given name was Yan Shu. Coincidentally, his courtesy name was the same as his younger generation's name, Hong Jian. As the saying goes, a sparrow is paired with a swan, and Shu Shu is paired with Jian Jian. Yan Shu is paired with Hong Jian, which is quite neat.
The Yuan family was not a small family. They were an orthodox scholarly family and members of the authentic five black categories. They had been wealthy gentlemen in a not-so-famous small county town next to the famous Jiangnan city of Wuxi since the Qing Dynasty.
Before liberation, nine out of ten people from their county who lived in big cities worked in three industries: ironwork, tofu grinding, and sedan chair carrying. Among the local products, clay dolls were the most famous; young people with a bright future went to university and most of them studied civil engineering. Iron was hard, tofu was bland, and sedan chairs were small and smelled of dirt. This was their folk custom.
As a junior, Yuan Hongjian had also heard of his great-great-great-uncle Yuan Yanshu. According to his elders, the old man had once gone to the United States to study and obtained a Ph.D. in Political Economics from Clayton University, a famous European university.
Unfortunately, Dr. Yuan lived in the Republic of China era when the golden bell was broken and the earthen pot was thundering. After returning to China, such an outstanding person with both moral integrity and talent was not appreciated for his talent. He had to be a manager in the bank opened by his father-in-law. In the end, he died in a car accident on the street before he could leave behind any children.
God is jealous of talented people, alas.
However, some people also said that he was killed because he was jealous of a young marshal in the Changsan Hall on Simalu. Of course, the old Yuan family, who had a strict family tradition, completely scoffed at such rumors.
Wait, I don’t seem to be a PhD yet, and I’m studying at New York University, so how did I get a PhD from a European university... This is a really good question.
Yuan Yan suddenly remembered that today was September 16, 1920, the ninth year of the Republic of China, and she was in New York City, the United States.
"Hey, Brother Hongjian, why are you up? Lie down quickly!"
Mr. Xu, holding a brown paper bag in his hand, pushed the door open and saw Yuan Hongjian standing in front of the mirror in a daze. He couldn't help but exclaimed.
Yuan Hongjian's great great-uncle Yuan Yan suddenly turned around and found Mr. Xu from his memory. He suppressed his surprise and said, "Brother Yusen, I'm fine. Speaking of which, you're looking for a doctor and buying medicine. I'm really annoyed."
Xu Xisen said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Hongjian, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I might not even be alive. Come on, lie down quickly!"
What, my great-great-uncle... um, I saved your life?!
He remembered that he had really saved Xu Qisen just now.
This man just received a master's degree in political economics from Columbia Graduate School this month. In his free time, he came to New York University to visit his former classmate Yuan Yanshu. They both studied at Shanghai Hujiang University (the predecessor of Shanghai University of Technology), and at that time they were just acquaintances.
However, when they arrived in the United States, thousands of miles away, as long as they were Chinese, they became close friends. Moreover, they were not only old classmates, but also new colleagues. After meeting, Senior Yuan and Junior Xu decided to visit the financial mecca Wall Street and then have lunch together.
But they didn't expect that before they reached Wall Street, they saw a flash of blue light in front of them and heard a loud bang in their ears!
The horses pulling the cart not far away suddenly got startled and rushed towards the two at full speed. Yuan Yan instinctively pushed his friend outward, allowing him to barely avoid the carriage, thus saving Xu Xisen's life. However, he himself was not able to avoid the carriage in time and was hit by it. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, hitting his forehead on the curb, and fainted... and also got a new core.
