Chapter 42 Rosewood

Subtitle of this chapter: Master Yuan, who is guarding the "wood" and waiting for the "master"

……………………

"Host, please wait..."

"Mr. Yuan, please wait..."

Our Master Yuan thought to himself, I am waiting for you.

Major Patton stepped forward and shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Yuan, what you said today is a lot to me... Well, help. Thank you. If it is convenient for you, can we talk about this issue again?"

Yuan Yan nodded calmly and said, "Major Patton, of course. This is my honor."

Major Patton said enthusiastically: "Then I want to invite you to Fort Myer to visit. Our place has a nice view and you can ride a horse together."

"I am so happy to ride a horse..."

"Dangdangdangdang, the temporary mission 'Master Patton'... has not been completed!"

"As a punishment for failure, 3 points of power are deducted from the host."

"Dududu, the way the host completes the task was praised by Prince Lie. This task has been upgraded to a series of tasks, "Psychic Tutor". The host's power will not be deducted for the time being."

"Series of mission content: Become a spiritual mentor to historical celebrities."

"Current list: George Smith Barton Jr. (selected), Henry Harry Arnold (selected), Cao Linsheng (selected).

"Series of tasks rewards: To be determined. Each task is successful and you will not receive a reward for the time being. The reward for the task will be more generous after the next successful superimposition."

"Task failure penalty: To be determined, the available task rewards can be eliminated or reduced."

No matter how you look at this series of tasks, it seems that you want to become the leader of an "emerging religion".

"So, Mr. Yuan, see you next day."

"Mr. Yuan, goodbye."

"Major Patton, I will definitely visit you. Captain Arnold, we will have a meal together if we have the chance."

Yuan Yan suddenly watched the two US military officers leave, and soon Shi Zhaoji and his wife and their entourage got off the car one after another. Of course, there were also teams outside the station to greet him.

However, Master Yuan didn't like to join in the fun. After saying hello to Mr. Shi, he walked out of Washington United Station alone with a box.

This station was the second largest railway station after Pennsylvania Station at that time, and the styles of these two railway stations were exactly the same. They both looked very similar to the ancient Romans' favorite Diocletian's Bathroom, and Washington Union Station also had an Arc de Triomphe like Constantinople.

"Hongjian, I'm here!"

As soon as he arrived near the Arc de Triomphe, a white-faced scholar with eyes greeted loudly in joy.

Our Master Yuan also smiled and said angrily: "Bohong, tell you not to pick me up, you are still here. You are so kind."

The visitor rushed forward and grabbed his hand excitedly and said, "You are so kind. We haven't seen each other for three years since we left in New York the previous year. But you have become a novelist now! I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

Yuan Yan nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to tell you, I didn't even think of it myself."

Bo Hong is Hongjian's fellow villager and classmate.

This man's surname is Meng and his name is Xiancheng. He is from Wujin, Jiangsu Province. He was also born in 1894. He is now studying for a master's degree in education at George Washington University. He will continue his studies at the Institute of Education, University of London, England in the second half of this year.

After returning to China, he taught at Southeast University, St. John's University, Guanghua University, Tsinghua University, Central University, Beijing Normal University, Zhejiang University and other schools. After liberation, he served as the Minister of Education of the East China Military and Political Committee and the Director of the Education Bureau of the East China Administrative Committee. In 1951, he became the first president of East China Normal University. Yes, the historical facts are like this.

What is relationship? This is relationship!

If Yuan Yan Shu hadn't died young, he would have been able to have his own encyclopedia entry in the future with his social relations.

The two of them exchanged a few words of greetings and walked side by side out of this big railway station that was vulgar in Yuan Yanshu's eyes.

The future president of China Normal University warmly invited: "Hongjian, why don't you go to my place for a few days. Washington is not like New York, and the hotel here is not that friendly to us Chinese people...."

Master Yuan raised his hand and called the taxi carriage, and said indifferently: "I won't bother you at the hotel. I've already booked it."

The hotel he booked this time was called Rosewood. This hotel looked inconspicuous, square and square like a large factory, but it was also a high-end hotel with a long history. So Yuan Yanshu, a Chinese man, encountered a soft nail and a poker face at the front desk.

"Sir, sorry. Our rooms are full."

"Oh, is that true?" Master Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay, my secretary has booked it for me. And my luggage should have arrived, too."

The front desk frowned, opened the record book and asked in confusion: "May I ask you..."

"Mr. Yuan, right? I am the foreman of Rosewood." At this moment, a smiley manager turned out from behind and said very politely, "Mr. Yuan, your luggage has arrived and has been delivered to you in the room."

Yuan Yanshu is now rich, isn’t he the kind of donkey who can get on the road with a bag? Is it a good idea to bring a small box to Washington when you come to Washington?

How can he have enough clothes for so many occasions, one box? Naturally, he has to check his luggage.

The foreman picked up a bunch of keys and said enthusiastically: "I'll take you two up there."

Well, Master Yuan’s face is so great now, so big that it is enough for the foreman of the lobby to serve himself. On the one hand, he is a famous novelist, and on the other hand, he is a friend of Wall Street tycoons.

For him, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and of course this requires him to continue to work hard.

Yuan Yan had his own consideration when choosing this hotel. Rosewood is located near Georgetown, just a half-hour walk from the White House and the State Department.

Our Master Yuan came to Washington and didn't necessarily return to New York after meeting Secretary Hughes. He had other plans. Of course, it would be best if he could get familiar with President Harding and deepen his relationship with Vice President Coolidge.

If we can get to know more government officials and Senate veterans, this will also be very helpful to his "magnificent plan".

Next to the hotel is George Washington University where Meng Xiancheng attended.

Therefore, the higher education institution named by the founding father of the United States is naturally also a prestigious school. Its Columbia College of Arts and Sciences is the oldest in America and the earliest educational institution qualified to award "Doctor of Philosophy". (Author's note: once again, the PhD of Philosophy is phd. It is not a PhD in philosophy, but an honorary title.)

According to the history that Yuan Yanshu knew, a great master will arrive in Washington in April this year. Not only will he be received by President Harding, he will also give an academic speech at the University of Washington.

And this historical celebrity will also stay at the Rosewood Hotel.
