Chapter 283 The Age of Enlightenment

"I went to the West and knew that China's self-improvement plan was well known, and I had no other desires. I carried the future of the country, took all the sciences of foreigners, went 70,000 miles long distance, and left the country of my parents, and had no regrets."

When he was drowsy, Heng Yu seemed to hear someone chanting this sentence in his ear, but his body was really uncomfortable, so he quickly fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Heng Yu woke up after a sleep. It was already dark outside. Only two candles were lit in the narrow room, and a faint candlelight lit up.

Three young men were sitting on the ground next to the candlelight, still flipping through books.

The movement of Heng Yu sitting up was so loud that Xiao Sheng, who was wearing glasses and reading the book in the candlelight. Xiao Sheng held the book in his hand, turned his head to look at Heng Yu, and asked in a warm voice: "You have vomited once since you got on the boat, and you have slept for almost a day. I haven't eaten anything for you a day, so I've left you a steamed bun. Do you want to eat a few bites with water now?"

I didn't feel anything at first, but when I heard the other party's words, Heng Yu felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. This body seemed to have some stomach problems.

He has not accepted the memory yet, but he has also known that he has dressed in this world as a young man, and that he should be on the ship at this time.

"Trouble." Heng Yu thanked him after taking the water and steamed buns handed over by Xiao Sheng.

"Swish." Someone suddenly sneered in the narrow space. Heng Yu looked up and said a young man with a buzz cut and looked full of energy.

Xiao Sheng also heard the sneer from the people behind him. He raised his hand and scratched his head, "You're welcome, we all went to study in the United States, and we happened to be divided into a room to take care of you. It's just a matter of doing it."

"Xiao Sheng, a rich man like Lin Hengyu is afraid he doesn't want to date you and me on weekdays. Why do you have to be so attentive? The eldest young master may not be yours." It was the man just now talking, and he mocked his tone, and when he spoke the four words "rich man", he even more emphasized.

Heng Yu squinted her eyes and smiled at Xiao Sheng, changed to a more comfortable sitting position and ate steamed buns in warm water, without giving the provocative other party a look.

What the provocative people are most afraid of is not the provocative persons who are fighting back, but the fear that their provocation will be completely ignored and they will be treated as a clown. The man felt a little angry when he saw Heng Yu's behavior.

Quietly around him, Heng Yu closed his eyes and chewed the steamed buns, while receiving the memories of his original body.

This time, he came to the most stormy era in Chinese history - modern times. The historical process of each world he experienced was different in detail, but probably the process always had similarities.

The historical node he is now standing at is in 1900. At this time, China's sovereignty was lost, and countless patriots went to other countries to seek good strategies for governing and saving the country. Against this backdrop, many young and progressive people in China sought ways to go abroad by themselves, and went abroad after finding a ticket to find a boat ticket, hoping to learn advanced cultural knowledge in other countries.

The original surname is Lin, and both of his parents are from a big family. My father was one of the first progressive people to study abroad. Although my mother had not received school education, her family education was very strict. After marriage, she went abroad for a few years with her father, and she had a broad vision and learned English. She was considered a woman with relatively open minds.

He was originally talented and had such a family atmosphere, so he was naturally trained to be very outstanding, just because he was the only son in the family and his temperament was trained to be a bit arrogant and noble.

Three years ago, Lin's father planned to send his original body to study in the United States, but Lin's father suddenly fell seriously ill and fell sick. Naturally, his original body was not good at going abroad at that time. Lin's father spent nearly two years sleeping in sick, spending half of his family property, but he passed away. After dealing with his father's funeral, under Lin's mother's insistence, he was asked to study abroad, which had been put on hold for a long time, for a second.

Lin’s father has many connections, and his original body is a top student at BGI, so it is still a very simple thing to go abroad at your own expense. Lin’s mother gave most of her savings to the original body so that she could study abroad with peace of mind without worrying about her livelihood.

Among the four people in this room, the other three are from ordinary families. The boat tickets for going abroad are all made up, and the original body is a bit arrogant. Xiao Sheng is fine. Jiang Wei, who had previously mocked Heng Yu, was very disgusted with the original body.

Even Heng Yu's body was seasick and could be involved in spoiling.

I can only say that after you don’t like someone, you can easily dislike him everywhere.

After receiving the memory, Heng Yu finished eating a steamed bun in his hand. He glanced at Xiao Sheng and others who were still reading with candlelight, and lay down to sleep again - his body really couldn't stand the tossing.

Early the next morning, Xiao Sheng woke up and found that Heng Yu, who was sleeping next to him, was missing. He was a little surprised when he heard a creaking sound from the door. Heng Yu, who was washing and dressed in neatly, walked in from outside.

Heng Yu nodded at him with a smile, shook the pot in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "I took some hot water from outside. Do you want to share some of you?"

Xiao Sheng was obviously a little flattered to Heng Yu's sudden friendly attitude. He was stunned and hurriedly said, "Okay, it's trouble." He got up, walked out with toiletries, and looked at him a few more times when passing Heng Yu, "Your face looks much better than yesterday. Are you not seasick?"

Original body is prone to seasickness, but he has been studying medicine for so many years, and the symptoms of seasickness are really difficult for him. Heng Yu smiled and said, "I won't be dizzy, thank you yesterday."

Xiao Sheng nodded, opened his mouth, and found that there was nothing to say, so he took his things out to wash. When Xiao Sheng came back from washing up, Jiang Wei and another person also got up.

After eating breakfast, Heng Yu walked out of the door and headed towards the deck of the boat.

The sun on the sea always rises earlier. It's still early at this time, but the sky outside is already completely bright. Many people who have just had breakfast like Heng Yu came out to breathe, but few Chinese people would walk to the edge of the deck so calmly and lean against the boat rod to breathe.

Because on this boat, in addition to the students who went to the United States to work and study, there were also senior government officials and foreigners.

The deck has good lighting and breathability, and it is almost everyone who defaults to belong to the latter two.

Hengyu is a Chinese man, a young man wearing an ordinary long gown, and it seems like an alien who has fallen into it.

But when he stood among this group of people, he looked calm and gentle with his smile in the face of those looking eyes.

No one on the deck was stupid. Although he was a little surprised by Heng Yu's actions, he didn't say anything and was still talking to each other. Heng Yu leaned lazily on the boat rod and looked into the east.

The original body wanted to go abroad to broaden his horizons and learn foreign knowledge, but this is exactly what he lacked. If he had come earlier, he would not have boarded a boat and went overseas. But now it is a foregone conclusion to go to the United States, so there is no need to rush back to China.

If he is in a peaceful world, he is always lazy. However, he will inevitably become serious in his heart by being in the smoke of troubled times, smelling the ups and downs of the times and witnessing the broken mountains and rivers of the country and the destruction of his family and country.

In such an era, you have to do something so that you can come here without wasting your own experience.

Thinking of this, Heng Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled slightly.

His face is already very good-looking, with elegant eyebrows and elegant temperament. Although he is wearing an ordinary long gown, he is still outstanding. What's more, when he smiles at this moment, his eyebrows and eyes are even more amazing.

"Hello." A noble lady who was obviously dressed as a foreigner suddenly turned her head and greeted Heng Yu in English.

"Hello, this lady." Heng Yu greeted the lady in very standard French.

He guessed the other party's nationality from the pronunciation of the noble lady in front of him.

French ambassador to the United States, Ni An Lee, slightly surprised and turned to talk to Hengyu in French, "Your French pronunciation is very correct. Have you studied in France before?"

"No, but my parents lived in France for a while." Heng Yu replied with a smile.

As long as he wants to show extremely high demeanor, no one can be unmoved by his demeanor.

Ang Lee was like this, she chuckled and said, "I have been in China for a while, and you are the most etiquette Chinese I have ever seen."

Look, this is the discomfort of being backward. It is obvious that China is a country of etiquette, but in the mouth of the French ambassador to the United States, it seems that other Chinese people except Heng Yu do not pay attention to etiquette.

"Mrs. Etiquette is deeply rooted in the history of China. Maybe you can say that China is lagging behind and declining at this time. I can't refute this, but we always talk about etiquette."

Heng Yu took advantage of his good looks, and after he refuted this, Ang Lee was not annoyed and said patiently: "But when I walk on the street, I just think that many people in China are vulgar."

"In the face of survival, etiquette is often suppressed. Only after food and clothing can people pay better attention to etiquette. Moreover, the wife uses some human beings in China to promote the entire country. Can the etiquette level of all people in France represent France?"

Ang Lee was stabbed like this and his eyebrows subconsciously frowned. Heng Yu smiled, but he didn't make the atmosphere too stiff. He simply changed the topic and talked to Ang Lee about the customs and customs of France.

After chatting for only a quarter of an hour, Ang Lee was already impressed by Heng Yu's knowledge. "I should introduce you to my husband. Although Lin, you are young, have a high knowledge and are very familiar with the international situation."

This was right in his heart. Heng Yu smiled, "Then I'll bother Madam."

When the ship that crossed the ocean finally arrived on the coast of the United States, Heng Yu had already become a group of more than a dozen foreigners on the ship. Among these dozen foreigners, there were diplomats, missionaries, and businessmen... If they were used well, his first step in the United States would be much easier.

"Lin, when you settle down, you must come to the French Embassy to find us." Ang Lee held her husband's hand, and waved to Hengyu in his other hand to greet him with a suitcase.

In the past month, Ang Lee and her husband have been completely impressed by Heng Yu's knowledge and demeanor. Whether it is the customs and habits of various countries, some obscure knowledge or analysis of the current situation, Heng Yu seems to have learned about it specifically. He never has to worry about not being able to answer the topic when chatting with him, nor does he have to worry about someone being neglected.

Such talents are worth making friends with no matter which country they are from.

After Heng Yu bid farewell to Ni and An, his wife, turned back to the cabin and waited to get off the boat with Xiao Sheng and the others. Now that the boat has docked, their group of students studying abroad have to get off the boat at the end.

Heng Yugang walked into the room, and Jiang Wei, who was sitting on the bed, snorted coldly. Heng Yu didn't hear it, and walked to the side of his bed and sat down.

Half of Xiao Sheng's luggage was filled with books, and he didn't see much, but it was definitely enough. At this time, he was still sorting out his things. Heng Yu looked at him and asked, "Xiao Sheng, where are you planning to live in the United States?"

Xiao Sheng scratched his head, "My money is only enough to buy a boat ticket. I don't have much money left anymore, so I guess I can't rent any good place."

"I plan to rent a house by myself. If you have no place to stay for the time being, live in my place first." Heng Yu said.

During this period, Heng Yu had been socializing with foreigners on the boat, leaving early and returning late. Jiang Wei and others looked a little unhappy when they saw him, thinking that he was too respectful to foreigners and pleased foreigners, so only Xiao Sheng would do something for him silently.

And when he first came over that day, Xiao Sheng left him a steamed bun so that he would not go hungry.

In this era, Chinese people were too difficult abroad, and Heng Yu was willing to lend a helping hand within his ability. Of course, Jiang Wei would forget it.

Xiao Sheng was stunned, his face flushed a little red. Judging from his current economy, it would be better if he could save the cost of accommodation, but Heng Yu was obviously helping him, and Xiao Sheng was a little embarrassed.

Heng Yu added warmly: "You live first, and it's okay to pay my rent when you have enough money later. Besides, you can take care of many things together. This is the most rare thing."

Heng Yu said so, and Xiao Sheng knew that he was comforting himself. Thinking of the money he had on hand now, Xiao Sheng was no longer pretentious and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Lin."
