After returning from the British Embassy, Xie Dongfa also came to Chen Muwu's residence the next day to visit.
He made a special trip to deliver news to the Republic of China Embassy in France.
Chen Muwu achieved such great achievements in the Paris Olympics. As the minister to France, Chen Lu thought he must meet this hero and take two photos.
This is his great achievement in office, and when he returns to China in the future, it can also become a capital when he competes in the officialdom and political arena.
So he found Xie Dongfa and asked him to invite Chen Muwu to meet at the embassy on his behalf.
When receiving the invitation, Chen Muwu's first reaction was that he didn't want to go.
When he was still in the UK, he sent a telegram to the embassy in France but failed to respond. He even asked Zhu Zhaoxin from the embassy in the UK to use diplomatic contact methods to find out how to register for the Olympics, but you, the old man, still pretended to be dead.
Now that I have seen that I won the gold medal, I want to come over and pick peaches. What have I been doing?
But it was Xie Dongfa who came to the door. During the Olympic Games, this man helped him run before and after, never caring about the rewards.
Chen Muwu could just pat his ass and walk away, but this man would still have to live in France in the future. If he didn't go this time, it would be inappropriate for him to be implicated.
So Chen Muwu agreed to the invitation and had someone pick up Ye Gongchao from the villa in the suburbs in advance, preparing to take him to meet the minister in France.
By establishing a relationship with the Minister in France, if Ye Gongchao encounters something in Paris in the future, it will also be convenient for the legation to travel there.
When I saw Ye Gongchao again, he had long lost the handsome demeanor of a playboy, and his beard was unshaven and his eyes were dull.
When he took this drunkard away from Chinatown last time, Chen Muwu said that he and De Broglie should learn French.
However, with De Broglie's status, although he couldn't condescend to teach him personally, it would certainly not be a problem to find a few teachers.
Moreover, it should be a normal thing for an aristocratic family to find a few old-fashioned tutors who are knowledgeable but have a strict teaching style, right?
So during the few days when Chen Muwu was glorying in the Olympics, Ye Gongchao was eating and drinking in his villa in the countryside, focusing on studying.
"Gongchao, I haven't seen you for a few days. How is your French study? Have you made any progress?"
When Ye Gongchao saw Chen Muwu, it was as if he saw a savior. He finally called out the right seniority this time: "Han... Sanshu Chen, Sanshu Chen, I really know I was wrong this time! I will never hang out with those gangsters and drinking friends again." Together!"
"If you know you've made a mistake, correct it. There is no greater good! Go shave and get a haircut, change into clean clothes, and accompany me to the embassy tomorrow to meet the minister."
After meeting the minister the next day, Chen Muwu heard another complimentary message that was nothing new.
Chen Muwu had heard these words countless times at the party De Broglie held for him after the game, and his ears were filled with tears.
However, Minister Chen also found a fairly novel entry point.
He and Chen Muwu became relatives, brazenly saying that his surname was Chen and his own surname was Chen, and that they were the same family five hundred years ago.
Who is your family?
Chen Muwu's Chen comes from Jiang, while Chen Lu's Chen comes from forced Jian.
Thanks to his rich imagination, he was able to come up with such a ridiculous way of getting close.
After a few words of conciliation with the minister, Chen Muwu and Ye Gongchao were left in the embassy by Chen Luqiang and had dinner together.
"Hanchen, you have been in Europe for more than a year. During this period, you must not have eaten your hometown food very often. By coincidence, there are a few cooks brought from China in our embassy. Tonight You and Gong Chao will stay here, and we will have a family dinner, which can also be considered as a celebration for you winning four gold medals in the Olympic Games."
Chen Muwuxin said that his buddy eats Chinese food almost every now and then. The person standing next to him should have a higher level of cooking than an academic level.
At meal time, Chen Muwu found out why Chen Lu wanted to keep him for a family dinner.
The so-called family dinner means that other family members of the host will definitely show up.
So during the dinner, Chen Lu naturally introduced his wife and, uh, daughter to Chen Muwu.
Chen Muwu felt that he had been in trouble recently. First, Cai Yuanpei wanted to accept him as his son-in-law, and now Chen Lu wanted to introduce his daughter to him.
In Chen Muwu's mind, he is only twenty-two years old this year and has just passed the legal age for marriage stipulated in the Marriage Law. He can still be regarded as a young man.
But in the eyes of the people in the Republic of China, he was not married at the age of twenty-two, so he was already marrying late and having children late.
What can I say about the appearance of Chen Lu's daughter? I can't say that she is good-looking, nor can I say that she has a charming appearance. I can only say that she is quite... rich.
Of course, even if the eldest lady of the Chen family was like a fairy, Chen Muwu did not want to have anything to do with the minister in front of him.
The most famous thing in Chen Lu's life was not because he signed the unequal "China-Russia-Mongolia Agreement" in Kyakhta on behalf of the Republic of China government.
But because he was the highest-ranking official shot by the military commander during the entire Anti-Japanese War.
The reason why Chen Lu was shot by the military commander was because he became a traitor and became the foreign minister of Wang Puppet Government.
Being a son-in-law to a traitor?
How hard does Chen Muwu think about it?
…
After a few days, the excitement of winning the Olympics finally dissipated.
Chen Muwu wanted to take advantage of the time before the closing ceremony to write the remaining two wave equation papers.
But although he wanted to write, some people didn't want him to.
De Broglie has been in a good mood these days.
Because after matrix mechanics troubled him for more than half a month, de Broglie finally found another way to solve the problem by relying on the wave equation given by Chen Muwu.
So now he always "tortures" Chen Muwu in different ways every day. Either you want to take him to Paris for a walk, or you want to take him to a winery in the countryside to see the precious wines he has stored in the cellar. wine.
Chen Muwu is really bothering him. It seems that if he wants to settle down and write his thesis, he must first help de Broglie distract his excess energy.
He soon thought of a way, took out a blank piece of paper, and drew a total of eighty-one squares of nine by nine on it.
Furthermore, the dividing lines between the third and sixth columns, as well as the third and sixth rows were bolded, dividing these eighty-one squares into three rows and three columns, for a total of nine nine-square grids.
Then Chen Muwu randomly filled in a few numbers, and then called de Broglie and asked him to fill in nine numbers from one to nine in the eighty-one squares, and he needed to make each row, each column and In each Jiugong grid, numbers can only appear once.
Things like Sudoku have long been obsolete in later generations, but it is still a new thing now.
Letting De Broglie use it to kill time and stop bothering himself is a good choice.
Sure enough, using Sudoku, Chen Muwu successfully evaded Qingxian.
De Broglie was obsessed with these eighty-one small squares, and Chen Muwu was able to calm down and write his thesis quietly.
As for Ye Gongchao, who finally returned to human society, he was locked up in an empty room in this residence again. He made a new round of revisions to the first draft of "No Survival" based on the opinions put forward by Chen Muwu.
Two days later, with dark circles under his eyes, De Broglie approached Chen Muwu again.
"Chen, I've done quite a few of the questions you gave me, but some of them don't seem to have a unique solution."
There is no single solution.
It is said that at least seventeen numbers are needed to have a unique solution to Sudoku.
But when Chen Muwu came up with the question, he didn't have time to help de Broglie verify whether it was the only solution one by one. He just filled in a few numbers casually.
"Chen, this novel puzzle is very interesting. Does it have a name?"
"It's called su (number)... No, no, this thing is called Magic Square, Chinese Magic Square."
Since learning Tai Chi from Boer, Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai to the Duke of York and the Crown Prince of Sweden, Chen Muwu felt that he had gradually become obsessed with cultural export.
Since I have already designed the Sudoku game mode in advance, it is absolutely impossible to give it a name like Sudoku that is clearly Japanese at a glance.
So he continued to cheat: "Louis, this game of filling numbers one to nine into a square has appeared in China thousands of years ago. Our ancestors first called it 'Hetu' and 'Luoshu'. ’, and later this kind of thing was called the ‘magic square’.
“Later, Arab merchants who followed the East-West trade, while transporting Chinese goods to Europe, also introduced the Magic Square to Europe.
“In the eighteenth century, the great mathematician Euler created a mathematical model called the Latin square based on the magic square.
"Then, one day last year, I accidentally discovered this research conducted by Euler in the library of Cambridge University. I thought it was similar to the ancient Chinese game called Magic Square, so I added a new one based on the two. Improvement has resulted in the paper you have in your hand now.
"What do you think? Is it fun?"
"Absolutely, I found that from Mahjong to Magic Square, you Chinese seem to be very good at number games."
How were these two things connected by de Broglie?
Apart from the fact that they both use the numbers one to nine, there shouldn't be any other similarities, right?
However, as he kept saying the word magic square, Chen Muwu suddenly thought of another similar phrase, that is magic cube.
Fortunately, he can't live in France for more than a few days. Otherwise, after de Broglie gets tired of playing with the magic cube, he will try to solve it, which will once again make Mr. Duke fall into deep self-doubt.
