Subtitle of this chapter: What is the Master Flow? This broken book of Laozi is the real Master Flow...that flow!

…………………………………………………………

Monday evening, April 25, 1921.

The sun sets in the west, and this "organizational life meeting" has ended and people have dispersed. Only two Chinese people, Yuan Yanshu and Huang Zongyi, are left on the balcony.

Our Master Yuan walked to the balcony and stretched out a big laziness, squinted his eyes and admired the sunset in the sky, then turned to look at his nephew who now looked respectful, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll delay you here for an afternoon."

Mr. Huang naturally shook his head and denied, "Uncle, you'll be dissatisfied with me. What's more, my nephew has benefited a lot this afternoon, and he even appreciated your style..."

He showed an admiration and said, "My nephew thought the rumors about his uncle were a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that those rumors are still reserved!"

"Hahaha..." Yuan Yan asked with a smile, "Shuozhi, have you heard about me in London?"

"Of course, I have heard a lot of your deeds from my sister and my brother-in-law Shaochuan. My sister praised you very much, which shows that Aunt Zhu has a keen eye for people, and you two are even more talented..."

Huang Zongyi glanced at his uncle who was both talented and handsome, and felt that the idiom "Talented and beautiful" was a bit inappropriate.

Not to mention women, even men like Mr. Huang have to admit that if a man grows like Yuan Yanshu, even without such talent, he can be justified in his favour.

No wonder Ms. Tang entered the French monastery for him.

He had no choice but to swallow and said, "That is really a good friend! Shaochuan's brother-in-law said you are talented and arrogant... Well, he admires your talent too."

Master Yuan chuckled and said slowly: "Haha, you are arrogant and arrogant...Mr. Gu is a humble gentleman and kind gentleman."

At that time, he was not very upset with Gu Weijun and the two ministers Shi Zhaoji, in order to duel with Lieutenant Colonel Alexander, so it is really polite to say that he is "high-spirited and arrogant".

Compared to Gu Shaochuan, the more mature Shi Zhizhi was even more disgusted with Yuan Da Time Traveler who showed his true nature. He believed that Xiao Yuan was too arrogant and not a way of dealing with people, let alone being a diplomat. Therefore, the two were together in Washington but had never met each other.

"Why do you talk about us Chinese gentlemen..." Yuan Yan suddenly changed the subject and said, "Super him, there are three gentlemen who will come later. Are you interested in having a meal with me and them?"

"It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful."

"Well, that's fine. Uncle, I'll go change my clothes first, you can change one too. Just order it casually. We are not foreigners and don't need to wear evening dresses to have dinner."

Our Master Yuan is actually a pretentious act of pretending to be crazy, not a crazy client. This time he wants to invite a stranger he has never met before, so he naturally can no longer wear pajamas and has to change clothes to meet guests.

So when Mr. Huang saw his uncle again, he found that he had changed his style.

Our Master Yuan just walked the route of famous scholars in the Wei and Jin dynasties, who were singing and roaring in the bamboo forest and talking about the clear talk. Now he has transformed into a Western gentleman style who has set up a horse and killed Indians, and has dismounted a horse and soaked a noble lady.

I saw him wearing a tailored brown tweed plaid suit, which was not so formal but exuded a pedagogy. He did not wear a tie or bow tie around his neck, but a plaid scarf of the same color, which immediately made the somewhat dull outfit lively.

Therefore, in the future, Yuan Yanshu's articles were not only regular visitors to the Atlantic Monthly and the New Yorker, but his photos also appeared on the old fashion magazines "Fashion Vogue" (founded as early as 1892 and is known as the most important fashion magazine brand) and "Vanity Fair)" (founded in 1913, specializing in pictorials of upper class and fashion pioneers).

His daily behavior not only led the men's fashion trend on this timeline, but also really changed the stereotypes of some Americans about Cyris.

"Uncle, your guest tonight is..." Huang Zongyi couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw the Chinese banquet delivered from Chinatown in the side hall.

Yuan Yan smiled slightly and said, "Super, everyone who came here today is us Chinese..."

At this moment, the three Seris gentlemen walked in under the guidance of their servants. The uncle and nephew, who were the masters, naturally stood up to meet them.

Master Yuan pointed to these three gentlemen and said very familiarly: "Suppose these three are my uncles and friends. Luo Puxiang from Tianjin, Yang Jingbang from Shanghai, and Lu Yan from Xiangjiang."

That's right, Camel Xiangzi, Xiao Yang Shengjian, Liu Finger Piano Demon and President Yuan, are the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

Next he introduced to his card players: "This is the young master from the Huang family in Nanyang, the big-name Zong Yi."

When these three playboy gentlemen heard the four words "Nanyang Huang Family", they couldn't help but feel respectful. So they immediately showed a flattering smile, said hello to Yuan Yan casually, and surrounded Mr. Huang in the middle.

"Mr. Huang, Uncle Jia is the consul in New York. Just say hello if you have any questions here."

"Mr. Huang, Alawulixiang (home) is also an old customer of Jianyuan Company. It's so pleasant to be able to meet each other (here).

Yuan Yan frowned when she saw this, and grabbed Lu Yan and said, "Xiao Lu, where are the three classmates you mentioned?"

In fact, he was so serious that he was not to entertain his three cards, but to entertain the three classmates of the Six-fingered Piano Demon.

Although Lu Yan is involved in the Hongmen, he is studying at Harvard University. Now he is in the sixth grade... Anyway, Harvard University is a private university that can be attended by paying money, and his family is not short of money, so he wants to study for a few years.

The diligent six-fingered piano demon not only studied hard at Harvard University for six years, but also transferred to several departments. He can be called an encyclopedia-style college student, but he lacked a horn and had another finger.

His academic spirit not only allowed him to have extensive knowledge, but also had another advantage, that was, he had met many Chinese students at Harvard. Some of them wanted to meet Master Yuan through his desire to meet this banquet tonight.

Lu Yan then remembered the truth and said, "Old Yuan, you talk about them..."

Just as I heard footsteps outside, a butler from Ms. Brooks's house led three gentlemen, Seris, who were less than Yuan Yanshu and the others, walked in.

The Liufinger Qinmo smiled and said, "Look, aren't they here?"

"Old... that Hongjian, let me introduce it to you."

Lu Yan pulled Master Yuan to meet him, and he acted as the introducer between the two parties after a slight appearance.

"This person is Longnan Tang Yongtong, whose courtesy name is Xiyu."

The Six-fingered Piano Demon is a cultural person at least. If you want to call someone’s hometown, you have to use the ancient name. In fact, Mr. Tang comes from Weiyuan County, Gansu Province.

Our Master Yuan immediately reached out and said enthusiastically: "Brother Xiyu, I'm glad to meet you, I'm glad to meet you."

He said in his heart that this is really a blessing! Later, in order to show off on the Internet, I read your "History of Buddhism in the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties" and I didn't expect to see you who were still dancing around at that time.

With his current reputation, he was so polite, and he held his hand with emotion and said, "Mr. Hongjian..."

"Brother Xiyu, sir, etc., I don't like to listen to it!"

"That's fine, that's fine, today I'll bother Brother Hongjian."

“Where do it.”

After the two of them finished greetings, Master Yuan looked at the second gentleman and heard Lu Yan introduce him: "Hongjian, this one is Xianyang Wu..."

Speaking of Xianyang, he must be a Shaanxi native. During the Republic of China period, Yuan Yanshu didn’t need to introduce the Six-Fingered Piano Magic, or even Master Ball, which one he knew on Baidu.

He asked directly: "Do you dare to ask if you are the Wu Yu Monk in Jingyang?"

Xiao Wu, who was a little handsome, was stunned when he heard this and nodded immediately, "It's Wu Mi. Does Brother Hongjian know me?"

Here I want to say that Wu Mi’s Mi has three pronunciations, one is “Fu”, and Fuxi’s Fu was also written as “Mi” in ancient times.

One pronunciation of the fourth tone is the pronunciation of modern Chinese, meaning quiet.

Three things: Wu Mi's students, such as Qian Zhongshu, Ji Xianlin, etc., all pronounce the fourth tone of bi. So when he pronounces his own name, he should issue the sound of "coin".

There is nothing strange about this. There is no Chinese pinyin or standardized Chinese characters these days. It is normal to have several pronunciations for a character.

The name Wu Mi is also an anecdote of the masters of the Republic of China.

His real name was Wu Yuheng. He was weak and sickly since childhood, so his grandmother decided to change his name for him, so he invited his uncle, and Chen Bolan, a famous poet in the late Qing Dynasty, took a new name. The great poet Chen was drunk at the time and wrote the word "Tuoman" on a broken piece of paper, and Wu Yuheng became Wu Tuoman.

In 1911, he entered St. John's University in Shanghai. Some of the little foreign slaves' children took advantage of Wu Tuoman's break and wrote the homonym of "hum men" on the blackboard. When he entered the classroom, he burst into laughter. This made him decide to use the "Wu Mi" he took instead of "Wu Tuoman" when he made a speech in the future.

Yuan Yan was about to say something again, nonsense, I know you so much!

Those "Republic of China" enthusiasts, Xiao Tang, who was in front of him, may not be aware of it, but why wouldn't he know you?

Of course, those ignorant guys actually don’t know what you have achieved in academics. They only know that you are as famous as Xu Zhimo and are the two big scumbags in the Republic of China.

Oh my, when it comes to this matter, it is still time to save it now, and you can really save it... It depends on how I feel after a while.

He smiled and said with a heart-warming voice: "Now I hear the rain under the monk's hut, my temples are already covered with stars."

When Wu Mi heard this famous line from the Southern Song Dynasty poet Jiang Jie's "Yu Meiren-Tingyu", he was shocked. Because this is the source of his word "Rain Monk", but he had never told others... Well, this is a speculation from later generations.

In his eyes, our Master Yuan couldn't help but become unfathomable.

Yuan Dadi stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Of course I know. The son of the Wu family in Jingyang, the cousin of the "Madam Husband" of the former Qing Dynasty, how could I not know about my brother?"

That's right, Wu Mi also has another identity, the richest female female lead in Shaanxi, who is the cousin of Zhou Ying, the heroine Sun Li played in "The Flowers Blooming That Year".

During the Boxer Incident in 1900, Empress Dowager Cixi fled to Xi'an, and Zhou Ying presented 100,000 taels of silver, so she was accepted as her adopted daughter by the Lafayette. So Zhou Ying is really a very legendary woman.

Wu Mi said in surprise and respect: "Brother Hongjian is so knowledgeable that he has remembered this far. Yu Monk admires it!"

After he met Xiao Tang and Xiao Wu, Lu Yan once again introduced: "This is Xiushui..."

Xiushui was a famous old revolutionary base in the later generations, but now...

"Xiao Lu, you don't need to introduce it."

Our Master Yuan waved his hand, looked at the third gentleman with a smile, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "Brother Chen Shi, when did it come late? Brother, do you still need someone else to introduce me to me if you want to see me?"

Brother Chen Shi, who was about 30 years old, blushed and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Hongjian, are you making fun of me or blaming me?"

"Hahaha, how dare I?" Yuan Yan suddenly stopped paying attention to himself and changed the subject, "Brother Heshou, Yuan Weng has always been good?"

Brother Heshou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My father is very healthy, but..."

He suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but show a ridiculous expression and said, "But of course it's not as good as Ling Zun. Hongjian, don't you write that article "The Wife and Concubine" because of this?"

When Master Yuan heard this, his smile suddenly froze. He felt really angry. My concubines were all heard in this family. My son really gave me a face!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit weird, Lu Yan next to him immediately smoothed out and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect Hongjian and Heshou to be friends with each other..."

Wait a moment, how did the people of Xiushui, Jiangxi, who were famous in the Soviet area become brothers and brothers with Wuxi, Jiangsu, who were famous in the "sweet" area?

This is because their fathers are literary friends and old friends.

In 1900, Mr. Chen moved to Nanjing and lost his father soon, which made him even more unintentional in his career. Therefore, he built ten houses on the banks of Qingxi, Jinling, and called them "Sanyuan Jingshe". He often used poems and ancient essays with his friends, saying that he "relying on the railings, he came to be a man of China with his hands."

By the way, who is Mr. Chen?

His name is Chen Sanli, his courtesy name is Boyan, and his pseudonym is Sanyuan.

He was the eldest son of Chen Baozhen, a famous minister of the reformist school in the late Qing Dynasty. He was known as the "Three Princess of Hunan and Xiang" together with Tan Yankai and Tan Sitong; he was known as the "Four Princess of Reform" together with Tan Sitong, Xu Renzhu and Tao Jucun; an important figure in the Tongguang Poetry School, and also as the "Last Traditional Poetry Poetry Poetry".

So, who is Mr. Yuan?

He was an official fan who was determined to be loyal to me in the Qing Dynasty, but he was always unfavorable to the imperial examination... that traditional literati.

This kind of traditional literati saw the famous poet and the famous figure Chen Sanli coming to his hometown, and then he immediately came forward to curry favor with him... that friendship. With Mr. Yuan's efforts to make friends, he became one of the "stood people in China".

So, their Yuan family and the Chen family became family friends!

And Chen Sanli, the young master who came to Harvard to study, was naturally known as the "Three Masters of Harvard" together with Tang Yongtong and Wu Mi...

Chen Yinke!
