To say that Mr. Yu often has to deal with these dirty foreigners in Zhang Yuanli, there is no way, because he has to earn this money. But what he did not expect was that his nephew Yu, who was left alone in the capital,
Hong, actually got involved with the foreign devils, and the leak was quite big.
In fact, if I think about it, Yu Hong would be busy just practicing wrestling and going to school every day. This child has long been a sensible adult, and he is educated, can he still cause trouble? As long as he waits until
Two years later, as soon as they graduate from college, their uncles and nephews will be able to get together again.
At that time, if he feels that it is okay here, he will ask his nephew to come to Jinmen. If he becomes impatient, he will take his son and apprentice back to the capital. In short, in the past two years, he has accumulated enough money for his nephew's wife.
It's almost done. When his nephew finds a good reason to write, he will give this boy a housewife. As long as he can see his nephew get married and have children, he will be worthy of his dead brother.
But although Mr. Yu planned well, in fact, the reality was exactly opposite to what he expected. If you don't cause trouble, the trouble will come to you. Yu Hong's kung fu has been passed down from the Yu family, and what's more,
The time arrangement in college is very independent, and the young man is in his prime, so certain things happen that seem accidental but are purely inevitable.
If you think about it, this incident is quite legendary. But before that, we must first introduce the Yenching University where Yu Hong studied.
Yenching University was founded in 1916. It was originally formed by the merger of three church universities: Huiwen University in Beijing, North China Union University in Tongzhou, and North China Women's Union University in Beijing. They were formed by the Presbyterian Church in the United States, the Methodist Church, and the Methodist Church respectively.
It is co-organized by the American Women's Guild, the Congregational Church, and the London Society of England.
Because it was jointly run by different churches and different schools merged, the management was very chaotic at first, and there was never a satisfactory principal. It was not until 1919, when the famous missionary to China Leighton Stuart became the principal that changes began.
After Stuart took office, he immediately reformed the school. Not only did he raise enough funds through fundraising from all walks of life to hire architect Murphy to start planning for a new campus, but he also used the money to hire many well-known scholars.
He came to teach. Among them were not only many well-known foreigners at the time, but also Hu Shi, Wen Yiduo, Wu Mi, Bing Xin, Feng Youlan, etc. who had returned from studying abroad. Yanda quickly became a talent center where masters gathered at that time.
It became the place where the cultural exchanges between the East and the West were smoothest at that time. It also made Yanda different from other industrial assembly line universities, achieving the luxury standard of having one teacher with only three students.
In the year when Yu Hong was admitted to Yanda University, the new school building had just begun to break ground, so he still took classes at the former site of Huiwen University (today's Huiwen Middle School) located in Chuanban Hutong, Chongwen District.
Yu Hong initially studied literature, but because his tutor Han Qiaosheng was also a returnee who graduated from the University of Leuven in Belgium, under his influence, he soon developed a strong interest in European civilization. So he
At Han Qiaosheng's suggestion, he began to study some courses in the Department of European Literature part-time. In the process, he studied very diligently and not only quickly mastered French, German and English, but also was highly regarded by Han Qiaosheng. Not only was he often invited
I would eat at Han Qiaosheng's home and often accompany the tutor to various cultural salons and academic conferences.
One night in the summer of 1925, Yu Hong accompanied Han Qiaosheng to a literary cocktail party at the Liuguo Hotel near Dongjiaomin Lane. After the cocktail party dispersed, Han Qiaosheng got into a friend's car and left because of the hospitality. But Yu Hong
Seeing that it was still early, Hong didn't call a rickshaw and just walked home alone near Di'anmen.
Unexpectedly, just as he was passing through a small forest near the Liuguo Hotel, he suddenly heard several women's frightened screams coming from the woods. And soon, the woman's voice became indistinct, as if someone had been beaten.
He covered his mouth, and then there were sounds of tearing clothes and obscene curses from a French-speaking man.
Yu Hong's first reaction at that time was that the foreign devils were bullying Chinese women again. Faced with this situation, how could he do nothing to save him? So under the influence of alcohol, his brain became hot, and he got into the cell without hesitation.
In the woods. But the reality of the matter was far beyond his surprise. In a dim environment, in a Bugatti car with its headlights on, there was indeed a foreign devil in a tuxedo roughly grabbing him.
A girl forcibly molested him. But this girl was not the Chinese woman he imagined, but a "Yangma" with skin like snow, blond hair and blue eyes.
Yu Hong was immediately shocked. He had never thought about whether he should reach out to help a foreign girl when she was being humiliated. But just as he was hesitating, the girl cried out "Idimo!" (Help me!)
), and the foreign devil's insult in French: "Ispas de Idieu, d'agueri!" (You idiot, get out of here) stimulated his nerves. With a sense of justice overflowing, he had no hesitation at all.
As soon as he reached out and grabbed the collar of the foreign devil's neck, he pulled the kid out of the car.
The French devil didn't expect that Yu Hong would really dare to take action. He was caught off guard and squatted on the ground. But then he jumped up in anger and rushed towards Yu Hong. He continued to curse fiercely.
, "Idiyu, Tufen Moria!" (Stupid pig, you want to die!)
Originally, Yu Hong didn't want to be too rude, thinking that if this foreign devil knew what was wrong, he would stop in time, but this kid happened to be wild and toneless, as vicious as if he wanted to kill someone. Out of disgust, coupled with the feud between his ancestors,
, Yu Hong felt at that time that if he didn't give this kid some harsh treatment, he would probably not learn a lesson.
So just when the French devil jumped in front of him, Yu Hong stepped forward and grabbed the kid's wrist. Then he leaned down and made another "crotch-piercing lean". Then he stretched his waist,
He put his head back on the pillow. In the end, just like this, he used his shoulders to fight off the French devil.
Thanks to the strength of the foreigner's leaping towards him, the French devil turned somersaults in the air, and was actually thrown directly into the tree by his own strength. He only heard a "squeaking" sound from the branches and a sound of pain.
, and then nothing happened. The kid’s tuxedo got caught on the branches, and no matter how hard he kicked it, he couldn’t get off.
Only then did Yu Hong methodically inquire about the condition of the girl in the car. He noticed that although the girl's hair was messy, her clothes were not damaged, and she had a slender figure and a very delicate and beautiful appearance. However, she was completely stunned now.
He just covered his mouth with his hand and stared blankly at the "foreign bat" on the tree, looking completely shocked and in disbelief.
However, when Yu Hong asked in a standard voice, "Tuna Bassidi Brisi" (Are you okay?), the girl stared at Yu Hong's face in surprise, and then immediately with a bit of worry.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Sir, you know French!"
In fact, this question was meaningless, so Yu Hong did not answer directly. He thought the girl seemed fine, so he just politely continued to ask in French. "Okay, Miss, what should I do with him? Do you want me to call someone?
?”
"No, please don't..." Unexpectedly, the girl turned pale when she heard this and repeatedly begged Yu Hong not to do this. She just asked him to take her out of the car and send her home.
"Just do it as you wish, miss." Yu Hong mistakenly thought that the girl was shy and didn't want others to know about it, so he didn't say anything more. When he wanted to protect the girl and leave, Shu
But the "foreign bat" issued an angry threat, "A dog stalks a mouse, meddle in other people's business, Chinese, you will regret it..."
In response to this, a sneer appeared on Yu Hong's lips. He just regarded this as a beaten mad dog barking in anger and didn't take it to heart at all.
I don’t know whether it was because Dongjiaominxiang was nearby or for some other reasons. In short, the girl refused Yu Hong’s kindness in calling for a taxi and just asked him to take her home on foot. While the two were walking, the girl not only told Yu Hong
Her own identity also told the real reason why she did not want this matter to be exposed.
It turns out that the girl's name is Nia Pontin, and she is the daughter of Morel Pontin, the French minister to China. The man who wanted to molest her was named Mayel Jean, and this guy's father was the French ambassador to China.
, that is to say, he is Nia’s father’s immediate boss.
They actually just met today at a reception at the French Embassy. It seemed that their parents wanted to bring them together, so they agreed to Mayer driving Nia home first. Although Nia was not interested in this guy at all,
But he didn’t want to embarrass his parents and ambassador in person, so he agreed. But he didn’t expect that this guy was decent on the outside, but he was an eager gangster on the inside. Along the way, he saw that Nia ignored his teasing and actually drove the car into the woods.
She wanted to do something wrong, but luckily Yu Hong appeared and Niya was saved from the murderous hands.
Yu Hong was a little surprised by this, but didn't know what to say to comfort Nia.
Fortunately, Nia was an optimistic girl and quickly recovered from her worries, saying that she would tell her parents about the incident when she returned. Presumably, after this incident, Mayel would not have another chance to provoke her.
. Then she began to praise Yu Hong for being great, saying that May Aier had practiced boxing and had won the championship in a competition, but she didn't expect that Yu Hong would "hang" him on the tree easily.
.
This generous praise made Yu Hong blush, and he didn't know how to reply. However, when he heard that May Aier's grandfather was an officer in the British and French allied forces, he felt very regretful that he could not beat him.
This guy is more ruthless.
But the girl was more worried about whether May Aier would take revenge on Yu Hong. Niya said that May Aier had a lot of bad friends and asked Yu Hong to be more careful. She also said understandingly that if she was in trouble, he could come to her.
Don't be embarrassed to ask her father to help. Her father loves her very much and will never stand by and watch her benefactor.
In short, along the way, Nia talked a lot, and Yu Hong listened a lot. Even when Nia was sent to the two stone lions at the entrance of the French Embassy, both of them felt that the time was a little too short.
It seems that there are still many things that have not been said enough.
Not to mention that Nia didn't understand why she always felt her cheeks heat up and her heart beat panicked under Yu Hong's gaze. Even Yu Hong couldn't explain why at the moment of separation, when Nia used a rather meaningful expression
When he stared at him with searching eyes, he actually blushed. And even though he knew he shouldn't, he still took the initiative to write his contact information to this French girl.
Only later did he realize that, unknowingly, he had been attracted by a cheerful, generous, and innocent heterosexual style that he had never been exposed to before...
