    Students are on vacation, and the paper on "Quantum Mechanics" has been mailed out. Now that they have collected these oracle bones, Sun Yuanqi can finally spend the Western New Year with peace of mind.  At this time, the lunar calendar was still the main timekeeping method in the Qing Dynasty.  On Christmas and New Year's Day, Sun Yuanqi had to pay a visit to the American Embassy and Ding Hailiang's residence.  I also want to send a few greeting cards to friends and colleagues such as Rutherford on the other side of the ocean to express my best wishes for the New Year.

    "We, China, are a country of dignified etiquette, how can we lack such etiquette!"

    These days, Sun Yuanqi is staying at Jingshi University in the suburbs to plan the arrangements for the coming year: How does the school plan?  How are subjects set up?  How to raise funds?  When will the teachers be available?  When will you go to the United States?  How to recruit the next batch of students?  The plan for the year begins with spring, and all these issues must be decided before the Spring Festival.

    While he was making plans, his great-uncle in the capital sent someone to send him a "dispatch gold medal", asking him to "pass through the government" quickly.  When I asked the servant who delivered the letter, he couldn't tell me who he was. He only said that he was called urgently and urged him to go quickly.  Sun Yuanqi was as confused as Monk Zhang Er, so he had to order everyone to patrol carefully, and he hurried to the city with the Sun family.

    When we arrived in the city, it was already time to light up the lanterns.  Sun Yuanqi did not dare to delay and went straight to Sun's mansion.  When we arrived at the Sun Mansion in Lianzi Hutong, the Sun family was preparing to have dinner.  Mr. Sun Jianai greeted him and said, "Bai Xi is not an outsider. Let's sit down and eat together."

    Sun Yuanqi was not polite, thinking it was the boss who wanted to whisper something at the dinner table.  Throughout the ages, haven¡¯t officials always talked about work while eating and drinking?

    After washing his hands and face, Sun Yuanqi finally opened his eyes when he arrived in the hall: a large table was set up in the middle of the hall, and several adult children and grandchildren of the old man, as well as half-grown children, stood on both sides of the table waiting.  There are two tables next to it. One table is for women and children. They look like the children and grandchildren of the Sun family, with their children, waiting at the table. Farther away, there is a large table with several people standing around it.  It's not full yet.

    By the way, it has been three or four years since Sun Yuan came to the Qing Dynasty, and he has never had a formal meal with these big shots.  On weekdays, in my yard, everyone, old and young, men and women, regardless of their seniority, gather around the table to cook, and it¡¯s a lively scene.  When you go to the United States, you feel like a fish in water, no different from China in the 21st century.  Seeing this scene now, I am really surprised.

    Seeing that Sun Yuanqi was in a daze, Sun Jia Nai smiled and said: "Although there are differences in seniority, our Sun family has always treated the subordinates very generously, so the whole family eats together."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????  You have never seen my home!  Although Sun Yuanqi was muttering in his heart, he still had a smile on his face and nodded in agreement.

    "Thank you for your kindness. Go bring a chair over. Baixi will sit next to me today!" the old man said to a young man at the table.  The young man responded and moved the chair.  Another servant brought over a set of tableware.

    Of course Sun Yuanqi knew that it was not easy to sit at this table, especially when there were a group of uncles and uncles beside him.  Just as he was about to refuse, the old man glanced at him with a look that seemed to be substantial.  There is murderous intent!  Sun Yuanqi was horrified and had no choice but to keep silent and acquiesce in the fact.

    The old man sat down at the head table and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."

    Everyone in the hall sat down, and Sun Yuanqi followed suit.

    A servant came over from the side: "Sir, will you pass on the food now?"

    The old man nodded slightly.  The servant quickly walked to the door of the hall and shouted: "Pass the meal!"

    After a while, seven or eight servants brought out steaming meals.  There were a total of six dishes and two bowls of soup on the table, with vegetarian dishes accounting for more than half, but the portions were quite sufficient.  I glanced at it with my peripheral vision and saw that the food on each table was the same. There was no special small pot rice.

    The servants served the meal together and sat down at the big table farthest away.  Only now did Sun Yuanqi understand that the empty seats at the table were reserved for these subsequent servants.

    "Baixi, don't be dissatisfied with the simple meal, and don't be polite!" After the old man said this, he picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of cabbage and tofu and put it in his own bowl. Others on the table picked up their chopsticks.  In this way, dinner begins.

    It is said that there are dozens of people of all sizes eating in the entire lobby. Except for the occasional sounds of chopsticks and dishes, it is completely silent. Even the sounds of chewing and drinking soup are almost invisible. It is really "eating without talking, sleeping without talking"  .  Sun Yuanqi was filled with emotion and had to be careful with his movements to avoid making a joke.

    There was something ready to eat on the table, so I put down my bowls and chopsticks and sat quietly on my seat without moving.  When I looked carefully, there was not a grain of rice left in the bowl.  By the time the old man put down his chopsticks, someone had already brought a cup of hot tea.  When the tea is finished, the meal is over.  Everyone stood up, and the servants hurried over to clear the dining table and bring toiletries.?One post.  When I opened it, it turned out that Zhang Yeqiu's name was Baixi, with the courtesy name Yeqiu.  Sun Yuanqi felt that the name "Zhang Baixi" was very familiar, not only because his own character was "Baixi", but he seemed to have seen it a long time ago. After thinking about it for a long time, an inspiration flashed in his head: Isn't this the first principal of his old alma mater?  Another historical figure!

    After that, naturally he came to visit respectfully.  The old man is a knowledgeable, gentle and tolerant good old man. He is very satisfied with Sun Yuanqi, a junior, and said a lot of kind words about "borrowing my virtuous brother".  In short, the matter of drafting school charters at all levels fell on Sun Yuanqi's shoulders.  After Mr. Zhang Baixi's recommendation, the Qing government granted Sun Yuanqi the title of Xuanyi Lang, Doctor of the Imperial College Doctoral Hall, with the rank of seventh grade, and was temporarily transferred to the position of deputy director of the Capital University.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
