The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 290 June (I)
This chapter's subtitle: There is only June in this world
"Neo, good news!"
Yuan Yan, who was dictating a letter to her secretary in the study, suddenly asked casually, "John, what's the good news?"
By the way, who is he writing to?
Oh, he would write about every historical figure he knew, and he would write about him anytime and anywhere.
He even made an address book according to the alphabet, AB today, CD tomorrow, EF the day after tomorrow... and wrote them down one by one in this order.
Do you understand? This is his chat record, and it is also the first-hand material for him to write his memoirs in the future.
He is the living history of the 20th century!
The private lawyer of "Living History" said: "You can leave Southampton."
Because there was no big shot to put pressure on them, the local police really couldn't find a reason to detain our Master Yuan.
Let’s talk about what this Chinese person did.
He really didn't do anything, just yelled, and didn't even touch the unfortunate protesters with a finger, and they knelt down.
If you want to talk about frame-up or distortion of facts, there were not only witnesses but also photos when the incident happened.
Besides, no one was injured, and no one filed a lawsuit. What else can we do if we don’t let him go?
Yuan Yan nodded suddenly and said, "Very good. When are we leaving for London?"
"Tomorrow," Mr. McCall replied. "I've booked a suite for you at the Savoy Hotel..."
The Savoy Hotel, opened in 1889, is one of the most magnificent luxury hotels in London.
Throughout history, many celebrities have stayed here, including the great British writer Oscar Wilde and the great French painter Claude Monet. It was while staying at the Savoy Hotel that Monet created his famous painting, "The Thames," through his room window.
Princess Diana and her husband Prince Philip had their first date in this grand hotel.
Of course, they didn't book a room, but had their meal in the restaurant.
Savoy's special beds later became a famous luxury brand - SAVOIR.
"By the way, Neo . We're planning a dance at the Savoy. Do you have anyone you'd like to invite?"
These second-generation rich men and Major Arcanas didn't travel around the world just for fun, nor did they follow Lord Fool around the world on a whim.
In fact, each of them has their own purpose.
"Your Excellency the Priestess" is because "Lord Fool" told him that there will definitely be a lot of big news along the way.
Of course, our Master Yuan did not lie to her. It would be easy to become a famous journalist by following him.
"Helen of Manhattan" was inspired by her "writing teacher" to write a series of travelogues, becoming the first female travelogue writer around the world in history.
I've already decided on a name for this travelogue series—"The World is So Big, I Want to Go and See It"—and I've even booked a column in Le Monde.
Now is a historical stage in which the middle class in the United States and the entire Western world is growing stronger, and there will be more and more petty bourgeois women.
With Yuan Yanshu's guidance, the travel notes written by Miss Brown will definitely suit the tastes of these female intellectuals, and it will be difficult for her not to become famous.
Louis Baker and John McCall, on the other hand, had a more practical approach. They wanted to explore the business landscape around the world and prepare for their future endeavors. Their families were quite supportive of this.
Therefore, not only are they wealthy enough to afford high-end hotels like the Savoy , but they are also willing to spend money to get to know more local people.
"Yes." Our Master Yuan answered casually: "There are many..."
Thursday afternoon, June 30, 1921.
St Mary's College, Cambridge, London, UK .
Saint Mary School, founded in 1898, is a Catholic girls' school that accepts both day and boarding girls.
It was time to go home from school, and a Seris girl walked out of the school gate.
She was wearing a purely Western-style school uniform, which matched her delicate figure and sweet looks like a classical Chinese lady. It was really...
If our Master Yuan were here, he would definitely exclaim in admiration. It is true that LUOLI has three advantages: light sound, soft body, and easy to push down.
"Phyllis, I'm here!"
Phyllis comes from Greek, meaning tender branches, small petals, or green twigs. When used in female names, it means a lovely girl who is tender, lively and energetic.
However, in Greek mythology, Phyllis is a tragic heroine. Daughter of the King of Thrace, she fell in love with the Athenian prince Demophon at first sight. After they became engaged, Demophon returned to Athens to fight, promising to marry Phyllis upon his return.
However, Phyllis waited for a long time but her lover did not return, so in despair she hanged herself on an almond tree...
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Phyllis of Seres to hang herself on a tree.
The "first talented woman in modern China" spotted Xu Zhimo at the school gate. She smiled sweetly and raised her hand happily, saying , "Hamilton!"
It was summer, when the vegetation was lush and green, and they were in the garden city of Cambridge. They were both good-looking, and it did look like they were from an idol drama.
However, if our Master Yuan saw such a situation, he would definitely complain.
Two good Chinese people don’t call each other “brother – sister”... No, they should be “uncle – niece”. Why call them “Phyllis” or “Hamilton”? It makes them sound like white-collar workers in later generations. It’s really not cool at all.
Fortunately, a killjoy like him was not here, and the man and woman with a somewhat strange relationship quickly got together.
They looked at each other and said at the same time:
"Hamilton, are you back?"
"Phyllis, I'm back!"
The girl giggled and asked, "So... did you meet Mr. Hongjian?"
"Didn't I tell you he's my good friend?" Xu Zhimo said proudly, "How could I not see him? He's also in London!"
He said excitedly, "And he also promised me to persuade Youyi to divorce!"
Part of the reason for Xu and Zhang's divorce was that Lin Huiyin refused to be a mistress, so she asked Xu Zhimo to divorce her before she would accept his courtship.
That’s right, at that time she was still called Lin Huiyin, and her name came from “The Book of Songs – Da Ya – Si Qi: Da Si succeeded Huiyin, and the next generation was Bai Si Nan.” Later, because she was often mistaken for “Lin Weiyin”, a Shanghai-style writer who was also a member of the Crescent Moon School at the time, she had to publish an announcement in the newspaper to change her name to Huiyin.
Incidentally, Lin Weiyin had a debate with Lu Xun in 1933, and was cursed by Lu Xun as "the least capable person in the punitive army" and "a piece of cuckoldry." Later, she indeed became a running dog of the Wang Puppet regime and was one of the active figures in the "isolated island period."
"Oh, is that so..." the girl said calmly without comment.
Xu Zhimo nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, he invited me...well, we are going to the ball at the Savoy tomorrow night. I came here specifically to inform you."
"prom?"
Yes, don’t princes and princesses always meet at balls?
Unfortunately, our prince has other plans for this princess.
